Question

which statement is accurate regarding sexual activity?

dating an older person increases the chance of having sex.
other teens are having more sex than most teenagers perceive.
approximately 90 percent of teens have sex before age 16.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Peers do influence sexual activity (social norms, pressure), so first option is wrong.
• Older partners may have more experience/ different expectations, increasing sexual activity likelihood, so "Dating an older person increases the chance of having sex" is accurate.
• Research shows teens often overestimate peers' sexual activity, so third option is wrong.
• Far fewer than 90% of teens have sex before 16, so fourth option is wrong.

Answer:

B. Dating an older person increases the chance of having sex. (Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the second option as B)
