Question

quinn witnesses drug dealing and other gang-related criminal activities in his neighborhood. what is the best way for him to avoid becoming a participant?
○ skip school to avoid gang members.
○ ask for a ride home if he feels threatened by a gang member.
○ wear gang colors to blend in with members in the community.
○ listen to music and ignore gang-related crimes when walking to school.

Explanation:

To determine the best way for Quinn to avoid participating in gang - related activities, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Skipping school is not a good choice as it can lead to academic and other negative consequences, and it doesn't truly solve the problem of avoiding gang involvement.
• Option 2: If Quinn feels threatened by a gang member, asking for a ride home is a safe and practical way to remove himself from a potentially dangerous situation and avoid being coerced into participating in criminal activities.
• Option 3: Wearing gang colors is a form of associating with the gang and can easily lead to Quinn being drawn into gang - related criminal behavior.
• Option 4: Ignoring gang - related crimes and listening to music while walking to school does not protect Quinn from being targeted or pressured to participate in gang activities.

Answer:

B. Ask for a ride home if he feels threatened by a gang member.
