<span>I watched as she slid across the floor. She looked like a seal sliding from the tub to the radiator. The entire journey was about 10 feet, but it felt like it took around 10 minutes for her to make that slide. Head first she bonked into the radiator, still wet and slightly covered by soap, shampoo and the shower curtain trailing her like some cape. Map woman. Europe and Africa covering her more delicate bits as she slid. I stood there, unsure how to react. Should I pick her up? Do I laugh? Do I just sit there and try to calculate what exactly happen. I smiled while I wait for her reaction, which is a mixture of tears, laughter, and sheer embarrassment. I finally get the ability to laugh to the ridiculousness of her and this moment, sliding like a seal into the radiator. It was the most graceful thing I've ever seen her do.</span>

Answer:

C). Tamica's phone call with her mom.

Explanation:

As per the question, the event leading to a solution in the passage was 'Tamica's phone call with her mother.' Before the call, she was extremely tensed after missing her plane to the United States which was also the last plane for that night. She didn't know what to do as she had already left the place where she lived with other students and the city was not known to her. She was left clueless about how to spend the long night at the Heathrow airport but after the call, she gets to way to get out of this problem as one of her mom's friend live near the airport. Thus, this event brings a solution to her problem and hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Teenagers are considered adult offenders at 18 years old. Do you think that this age should
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

It should be raised

Explanation:

A scientifically proven fact that the brain does not reach maturity until the age of 25. For males, their hormonal changes are still taking place at the age of 30 where they fully mature into a man's body.

If the brain or body are not mature at the age of 18 then the definition of an adult is not attached to maturity or development but to existence and expectation.

It is wholly unfair to determine the level of one's intellect based on the time of existence rather than it's actual capability.

In that same vein, every individual matures differently and it might be in the best interest of the offender if they are given an evaluation to determine their capacity and then they can be appropriately charged for a crime.
