Question

select the correct answer.
which of these problems can be best solved through community action?
a. conner is thinking about joining the high school basketball team, but he is not very tall and he feels inferior to other boys his age.
b. rebecca, who lives in a town with inadequate medical facilities, needs to see a doctor regularly to monitor her diabetes.
c. thierry often leaves his bike by the back stairs, making it difficult for others to pass without tripping or scraping themselves on it.

Explanation:

• Option A: Conner's issue is personal self - esteem about height for a sports team, best solved by personal growth or team support, not community action.
• Option B: Rebecca's town has inadequate medical facilities. Community action (e.g., advocating for better facilities, fundraising, working with local government) can address the lack of medical resources for the whole community, including Rebecca's need for diabetes monitoring.
• Option C: Thierry's bike - blocking is an individual behavior problem, solvable by talking to Thierry or setting personal property rules, not large - scale community action.

Answer:

B. Rebecca, who lives in a town with inadequate medical facilities, needs to see a doctor regularly to monitor her diabetes.
