choose 1 answer:
a priyanka doesnt give in to encouragement or pressure from shana and amina, so she avoids injury.
b shana overcomes her fear of heights, swinging on the rope and having a great time in the swimming hole.
c priyanka disappoints amina by not jumping off the rope swing at the end of their hike.
d shana and priyanka carry amina back down the trail after amina injures her ankle.

Explanation:

The theme focuses on resisting peer pressure and knowing limits. Option A shows Priyanka refusing peer pressure, which directly aligns with the theme and results in her avoiding harm (a consequence of respecting her limits). The other options either show overcoming fear, disappointing peers without linking to safety/limits, or dealing with an injury from not respecting limits, not the act of resisting pressure itself.

Answer:

A. Priyanka doesn't give in to encouragement or pressure from Shana and Amina, so she avoids injury.
