Teenagers are stronger and more resilient than children, yet their mortality rate nearly doubles during adolescence. This contradiction has puzzled scientists and parents alike. One common explanation is that teenagers are simply reckless or lack good judgment. However, studies show that teenagers are about as capable as adults at recognizing the risks of dangerous behavior.
If teenagers understand risks, why are they still more likely to engage in harmful or impulsive actions?

All of the following statements are supported by the information provided EXCEPT:
| Teenagers may act on short-term emotional impulses even when they are aware of potential risks. | |
| The brain’s reward system is especially active during adolescence, leading to an increased tendency for impulsive decisions. | |
| Weakened impulse control caused by external or inherited factors can increase the likelihood of mental health issues in teenagers. | |
| The cognitive control network is only active once individuals reach adulthood. | |
| Adolescent rats demonstrate greater motivation for rewards than rats at other life stages. |

The cognitive control network is only active once individuals reach adulthood.
Official Solution:
Similar patterns of adolescent behavior across species suggest that such changes are more strongly influenced by biological and genetic factors than by social or cultural factors.
• Tab 2 states that adolescent rats display behaviors similar to those of human teenagers, and it concludes that such consistent patterns across species indicate the changes are rooted more in biological and genetic factors than in social or cultural ones. Thus, this statement is true.
Teenagers’ risk assessment ability is significantly lower than that of children when evaluating the consequences of their actions.
• Tab 1 states that teenagers are about as capable as adults at recognizing risks, and it does not suggest that children surpass teenagers in this ability. Thus, this statement is not true.
Although children are weaker and less resilient than teenagers, their mortality rate is roughly half that of adolescents.
• Tab 1 states that teenagers are stronger and more resilient than children, yet their mortality rate nearly doubles during adolescence. Thus, this statement is true.
