|
|
![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) |
24 | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) At least one study found that most female adolescents respond positively to: |

25 | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) A teenage male who is abusing drugs and engaging in antisocial behavior is most likely a(n): |

![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) |
27 | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) One reason early-maturing males have the difficulties they have may be that: |

|
|
![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) |
29 | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) One of the factors that seems to influence whether or not early maturation in females results in positive or negative outcomes for the adolescent is: |

30 | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) One reason the typical teen gains weight during adolescence, of which adolescents are relatively unaware, is: |

| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | B)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | the typical increase in basal metabolism rate. |
| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | C)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | the typical increase in sedentary activities such as TV viewing. |
| ![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | D)![](/olcweb/styles/shared/spacer.gif) | a genetic predisposition to gain weight regardless of nutrition. |
