Do human beings have the right to pursue science over ideology, no matter the gains or sacrifices?

This should be true. Scientists very often have the idea of self-censure because they understand whether or not their research could be potentially dangerous, for example, if they understand that their creation could be a terrible weapon they decide to not pursue it and abandon the research. Things get nasty when they don't do it, but almost anything can be exploited so they sometimes don't even understand in what ways their research could be exploited. If ideology starts banning scientific research because of ideological differences, then it's similar to how the church killed scientists in the medieval era because scientists opposed what was essentially ideology at the time.

Fear Prompts Teens to Act Impulsively

Luden [163]

Answer:

1. D

2. C

3. C

4. D

5. Explanation below.

Explanation:

FEAR PROMPTS TEEN TO ACT IMPULSIVELY is a little article wrote by Laura Sanders and published in 2013 in which the reader can learn more about how teenager’s brain work and why crime peaks are common in the ages of 13 and 17.

1: how does the subject shift in paragraph 4 contribute to the development of the central ideas of the text? Use two details from the article to support your response.

The correct option is D: Teenagers are more likely to act impulsively when faced with a threatening situation because of the way their brains develop over time. We can infer that this is the correct one because the text never affirms that this peak of impulsive response is due to the brain of these aged people works better or something like that; the only fact that we are sure about is that they act with impulsivity and that this has to be related with some brain thing.

2: Part B. Which of the following quotes best supports your answer to Part A? *

The right answer is C: “More studies could determine how parts of the brain that control behaviour grows and change during the teen years, Caudle said.” (Paragraph 6) because, as we already said, Kristina Caudle and her team were working with what brain areas are related and linked to impulsively behaviour in teenagers; thus, studying more what is physically happening when a threatening situation occurs could help to continue discovering and understanding the teenager’s behaviour. The relation between this quote and the anterior answer is clear: it is necessary to continue with the investigative labour in order to understand better why we already know: teenagers act impulsively.

3: PART A: As it is used in paragraph 5, the word “curb” most closely means: *

The correct option is C: reduce because considering the entire sentence: “That suggests this part of the brain helps curb the impulse to react inappropriately, Caudle reported” we can see thanks to the context that the word is referring to a reduction.

4: PART B: Which detail from the paragraph provides the best clue to the meaning of the word “curb” as it is used in this context? *

The correct answer, in this case, is D: "react inappropriately" because of the same reasons that the anterior question: the meaning of the word could be contextually inferred, and this is why “react inappropriately” helps us to guess the meaning of “curb”.

5: How does paragraph 7 contribute to the development of ideas in the text?

Thanks to the last paragraph the author bases her argues in specific data, giving to her article more credibility. Also, this part of the text links the reader with the main theme because it promotes awareness about what teenagers lives and the risk that they could be into due to its inability to manage emotions and their consequences. The seventh paragraph works as the conclusion part of the entire text and this is why it:

1. Presents facts

2. Relates facts with the main theme

3. Creates consciousness in the reader

4. Ends promoting the idea of continuing investigating about the same theme.
