Question 17

Multiple Choice

Drawing Inferences and Conclusions Directions:   Read the following passage. Then select the appropriate letter to identify the inference readers need to draw from the text to fully understand the authors' meaning.
1What makes a young person a potential candidate for suicide?  2It's hard to say since suicide is a complex behavioral pattern determined by biological, psychological, social, and environmental influences. 3Our knowledge tends to be limited because of the difficulties associated with studying suicidal behavior. 4But there are some things that we do know. 5Many teenagers who commit suicide do so following acute experiences of  punishment, rejection or humiliation. 6Revenge or anger may also play a role. 7When young adults commit suicide, the target of their anger is often parents, a romantic partner, or someone else who may have rejected the person contemplating suicide. 8Some young people also threaten suicide to manipulate the behavior of those around them. 9Others view suicide as a way of atoning for some previous sin.
