Question

1. when people give in to negative peer pressure, it is normally because they lack which of the following characteristics?

○ morals
○ good parents
○ confidence
○ intelligence

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• "morals" refers to a person's principles of right and wrong, but giving in to peer pressure isn't solely about lacking morals.
• "good parents" is not a personal characteristic one lacks; it's about parental influence, not a personal trait.
• "confidence" - when someone lacks confidence, they may be more likely to conform to negative peer pressure to fit in or avoid rejection, as they struggle to stand up for themselves or their beliefs.
• "intelligence" relates to cognitive ability, and giving in to peer pressure is more about social/emotional factors than intelligence.

So the most appropriate answer is confidence.

Answer:

confidence (the option with "confidence" as the text)
