many of athena’s friends have begun experimenting with alcohol and cigarettes, and one of them even got some marijuana cigarettes from an older sibling. athena wants to fit in with her friends, and she has seen a lot of commercials lately that make drinking look like fun. she and her parents are always honest with one another, though, and athena does not want to disappoint them. she knows that they want her to have a healthy lifestyle, and they do not ever drink or smoke. she also wants to set a good example for her little sister, diana. which factors would likely help athena choose not to try drugs, tobacco, or alcohol? check all that apply. □ having open and honest communications with her parents □ having friends who encourage her to try just one cigarette □ seeing her parents model healthy behavior for her and her sister □ seeing commercials that explain that drinking is really harmless

Explanation:

• "having open and honest communications with her parents": The text says her parents are always honest with each other and she doesn't want to disappoint them, so open communication with parents would help her make the right choice.
• "seeing her parents model healthy behavior for her and her sister": Her parents don't drink or smoke and she wants to have a healthy lifestyle and set a good example for her sister, so parental modeling of healthy behavior helps.
• The other options: "having friends who encourage her to try just one cigarette" would encourage her to try drugs/tobacco/alcohol, and "seeing commercials that explain that drinking is really harmless" would mislead her as the text says she knows her parents want her to have a healthy lifestyle, so these don't help.

Answer:

• having open and honest communications with her parents
• seeing her parents model healthy behavior for her and her sister
