Question

ian is under immense pressure from his friends to smoke with them. which statement should he make to refuse smoking and ensure he will not be tempted to smoke?

○ \i have heard that marijuana is much better.\
○ \i am going to tell your parents you are smoking.\
○
o, but i will stay and hang out together.\
○
o, i am going to the library. want to join me?\

Explanation:

To refuse smoking and avoid temptation, Ian should choose a response that firmly declines and removes himself from the smoking environment. The first option promotes another drug, the second is confrontational, the third stays in the situation with potential temptation. The fourth ("No, I am going to the library. Want to join me?") declines smoking, leaves the tempting setting, and offers a positive alternative, reducing the chance of being tempted.

Answer:

D. "No, I am going to the library. Want to join me?"
