Question

which factor can potentially increase a teenagers alcohol use?○ inability to sleep○ desire to please parents○ wish for peer approval○ hope to be more dependent

Explanation:

Teenagers often prioritize social acceptance, and seeking peer approval can lead them to engage in behaviors like alcohol use to fit in with their peer group. The other options do not align with known risk factors: inability to sleep is not a direct driver, pleasing parents would discourage alcohol use, and wanting dependence is not a typical teen motivation.

Answer:

wish for peer approval
