Question

1. part b: which phrase from the text best supports the answer to part a? a. \growing up, i was surrounded by so much negative peer pressure and negativity, it wasnt long before i became a part of that fabric.\ (paragraph 4) b. \i committed an armed robbery when i was 17 1/2. and i often say 17 1/2 because had i been 18, my story would have been written differently.\ (paragraph 5) c. \there has to be more programs that exist... to help the students matriculate through high school, through college, through medical school.\ (paragraph 8) d. \and i think thats a crime in itself... you have to have some social consciousness to give back, to be a part of making it better tomorrow.\ (paragraph 9)

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to know the answer to Part A (which is likely about a theme like personal growth, social responsibility, or overcoming adversity). Assuming Part A was about, say, taking responsibility or giving back, Option D talks about having social consciousness to give back and improve the future, which would support that. If Part A was about a different theme, we'd match, but since D emphasizes social responsibility and contributing, it's a strong candidate.

Answer:

D. "And I think that's a crime in itself... You have to have some social consciousness to give back, to be a part of making it better tomorrow." (Paragraph 9)
