4 multiple choice 2 points the contrast between the two wes moores at this point in the book most clearly highlights: differences in neighborhood crime rates differences in parental expectations and consequences differences in intelligence differences in athletic ability 5 essay 2 points to what extent does the author wes choose change during his military school experience, and to what extent is it imposed on him? explain.

Explanation:

For question 4: The core contrast in The Other Wes Moore centers on how parental guidance, expectations, and the consequences of their actions (or inaction) shaped the two men's divergent paths, rather than factors like crime rates, intelligence, or athletic ability.
For question 5: The author Wes Moore had both chosen and imposed change at military school. He chose to engage with the structure, seek mentorship, and take advantage of educational opportunities to redirect his life. However, the change was also imposed: he was sent to military school against his initial will, and the strict rules, discipline, and institutional structure forced him to adapt rather than choosing the setting freely. His eventual growth came from balancing these imposed constraints with his own active choice to embrace the chance to change.

Answer:

1. Differences in parental expectations and consequences
2. The author Wes Moore experienced change at military school that was both chosen and imposed:

• Chosen change: He actively engaged with the military school's structure, sought mentorship, and took initiative to pursue educational and self-improvement opportunities, choosing to use the setting to redirect his life path.
• Imposed change: He was sent to military school against his initial wishes, and the strict, non-negotiable rules, disciplinary structure, and institutional demands forced him to adapt his behavior before he fully committed to the change.

The change was primarily imposed initially, but he later chose to embrace and direct that imposed structure toward personal growth.
