Answer:

The correct answer is - When it contracts, it compresses the thorax and decreases its volume.

Describe the kinds of peer pressure likely to most strongly influence your decisions about substance abuse.
Westkost [7]

Answer:

I hope this helps

Explanation:

Imagine you are at a party. Your friend and you just went there to listen to the cool music as dance along, you also promised each other you wouldn't take any drinks, or take any drugs. Your other friend at the party that has really good grades in school, just tried smoking for the first time. He offers you a cigarette and tells you it is OK to take a puff because he is a straight A student and he is not dead. You are either going to have 2 decisions, and there is a group of the popular kids watching and filming on their phone. The first and very smart decision you can make is to just say no, give the facts on why and leave the party. The second decision that I would never do, is smoke once. Let's say you decide not to smoke. The only down side to it was that that kid that was filming posted it to social media. But the kid who used to get straight A's now have very bad lung issues due to smoking accessivly after getting addicted after the 1st time of smoking at that party. He also wasn't able to attend school to long because he was always sick. You made the right choice and you are now a very successful person at Harvard University, but your friend that decided to smoke is now fighting for his life with lung cancer. He could avoided all that trouble by just saying no to the drug like you did.  The theme of this mini story, is to just say no to drugs, and chose good friends that will lead you into making the right decision.

Again I hope this helps
