Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were approximately 367,000 births to teenage girls aged 15-19 in 2010. Taking into account the estimated number of abortions and miscarriages, the total number of pregnancies among this age group was about 614,000. However, it should be noted that this number only includes live births, and does not take into account the number of teenage girls who become pregnant but do not carry the pregnancy to full term. Therefore, choice C (about 700,000) is the closest estimate.
