Read the passage from "Bullying in Early Adolescence.” We cannot assume that bullying among young adolescents is a simple interaction between a bully and a victim. Instead, recent studies and media reports suggest that there are groups of students who support their peers and sometimes participate in teasing and harassing other students. It seems important for families, schools, and other community institutions to help children and young adolescents learn how to manage, and potentially change, the pressure to hurt their classmates in order to "fit in.”

What is the author’s purpose in choosing the problem-solution text structure in the passage?

a. to show the events that occur during bullying
b. to show how bullying is different from other issues
c. to emphasize how bullying can result in different situations
d. to emphasize that bullying is a serious issue and what actions can be taken

 The correct answer is option d. to emphasize that bullying is a serious issue and what actions can be taken

Explanation:

  This passage begins by clarifying that this problem should not be minimized by believing that "is a simple interaction between a bully and a victim."

Bullying is real and it is a very important issue to deal with because many young people and adolescents suffer because of it.

In order to "fit in", children and young adolescents can be very cruel, and we know that everyone wants to belong or fit in a group, which further aggravates the problem because for that reason, many can extend bullying situations.

Given this information, we can say that the correct answer is option D.

the correct answer is: reveal gregor as an untidy individual.

in metamorphosis by franz kafka, gregor samsa is the main character, who one day wakes up as a bug, and the attitude he takes upon his transformation forces him to go deeper on his existence and the new features of his body.

in this excerpt the writer mentions a table full of collection textile samples, which gives us a hint about gregor being messy. later on the book we discover how he is a really untidy individual.
