Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence suggests that youth who commit serious or violent acts should face similar punishments (such as imprisonment) as adults in order to protect public safety. Therefore, option B, punishments, is the best choice. Option A, opportunities, is not relevant to the sentence. Option C, death penalty, is not appropriate as it is a controversial issue and not applicable in all cases. Option D, facility, is not specific enough and does not complete the sentence.
