according to the article, what happens in the teenage brain that makes * 1 point embarrassment feel so overwhelming? teenagers lose the ability to think clearly certain brain areas that control emotions are more active than areas that control reasoning the brain produces too many stress hormones the brain stops working properly during embarrassing moments

Explanation:

During adolescence, the teenage brain undergoes significant development. The limbic system (which controls emotions) matures earlier than the prefrontal cortex (which controls reasoning). This imbalance means that when an embarrassing situation occurs, the emotional - control areas (limbic system) are more active, making the feeling of embarrassment seem overwhelming. The first option "Teenagers lose the ability to think clearly" is an over - generalization.

The fourth option "The brain stops working properly during embarrassing moments" is also incorrect as the brain is still functioning, just with an imbalance in the activity of different regions.

Answer:

B. Certain brain areas that control emotions are more active than areas that control reasoning
