question 8 0.5 pts source: \concussions affect teens more than kids and adults, study says\ by steven reinberg part 1b: which piece of evidence best supports your answer to part 1a? \we know the adolescents brain...is growing in spurts and when something is developing rapidly it is even more fragile to injury.\ (reinberg par. 5) \the researchers found all the athletes who suffered concussions had results on their electrophysical evaluations that indicated injurious effects, compared with similar people who had not had a concussion.\ (reinberg par. 9) \teenagers suffer greater symptoms than either children or adults\ (reingberg par. 4) \contrary to the belief by some parents and coaches that children can play through a concussion because their brains are more resilient, we find that children are more vulnerable to the effects of a brain injury than adults\ (reinberg par. 3)

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The first option directly addresses why concussions affect teens more, due to the rapid - developing and fragile nature of the adolescent brain. The other options either compare athletes in general, or discuss children's vulnerability, not specifically why teens are more affected.

Answer:

"We know the adolescent's brain...[is] growing in spurts and when something is developing rapidly it is even more fragile to injury." (Reinberg par. 5)
