A society’s infant mortality rate is an accepted indicator of that society’s general health status. Even though in some localiti

es in the United States the rate is higher than in many developing countries, in the United States overall the rate has been steadily declining. This decline does not necessarily indicate, however, that babies in the United States are now, on the average, healthier at birth than they were in the past.
Which one of the following reasons, if true, most strongly supports the claim made above about the implications of the decline?
(A) The figure for infant mortality is compiled as an overall rate and thus masks deficiencies in particular localities.
(B) Low birth weight is a contributing factor in more than half of the infant deaths in the United States.
(C) The United States has been developing and has achieved extremely sophisticated technology for saving premature and low-birth-weight babies, most of whom require extended hospital stays.
(D) In eleven states of the United States, the infant mortality rate declined last year.
(E) Babies who do not receive adequate attention from a caregiver fail to thrive and so they gain weight slowly.

olga2289 [7]
 Well for self you can go out and buy urself things and be happy with urself. You have to build up you're confidence. You have to believe that you can do almost anything. You just have to really boost yourself up. 

  When it comes to other people it depends on who it is. You have to get to know the person, what they like and what they don't. When you find that out see how comfortable they are with showing affection. You can see with how much they compliment you, touch you, and overall just body language.

Hope that helps!
