Explanation:
Past Continuous tense is primarily employed to denote an 'on-going action of the past' that started in a time before now and continued for a while(in the past). It is formed by using the auxiliary verb 'was/were'(to denote past) followed by the progressive form of the main verb('verb + ing' to reflect the continuity). The given sentences could be filled by using this rule to signal to the progression of the action in the past.
Answer:
Risk-taking increases between childhood and adolescence as a result of changes around the time of puberty in the brain’s socio-emotional system leading to increased reward-seeking, especially in the presence of peers, fueled mainly by a dramatic remodeling of the brain’s dopaminergic system. Risk-taking declines between adolescence and adulthood because of changes in the brain’s cognitive control system – changes which improve individuals’ capacity for self-regulation. These changes occur across adolescence and young adulthood and are seen in structural and functional changes within the prefrontal cortex and its connections to other brain regions. The differing timetables of these changes make mid-adolescence a time of heightened vulnerability to risky and reckless behavior.
