During the 19th century, it was common to hear people in Europe and America say that the resources
of the sea are unlimited. For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid-19th century commented that
none of the great sea fisheries is to be exhausted. Today though, there is evidence that the resources of
the sea are as seriously endangered as those of the land and the air, and that the endangered species

Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
Different types of relationships can influence teenagers in many important ways, shaping their thoughts,
actions, and even their future. During adolescence, teens experience emotional and physical changes, and
the people around them—friends, parents, and romantic partners—often play key roles in guiding their
development.
Friends impact teenagers almost as much as their parents. In fact, teens often turn to friends for support
and guidance, especially when they feel uncomfortable discussing certain topics with their parents. Peer
groups offer advice on school problems, emotional concerns, or even how to behave in social settings.
Teenagers commonly seek tips from their friends on how to dress, speak, and act around different people,
as they are trying to fit in and build their identity. While most friends offer good advice, some may
unintentionally lead their peers down the wrong path.
Love relationships can add extra pressure. Many teenagers begin dating during high school, but this can
sometimes interfere with their academic success. Teenagers may spend more time focusing on their
boyfriend or girlfriend than on their schoolwork. As a result, some start to neglect their studies and see a
drop in their grades. Romantic distractions can make it more difficult to concentrate and manage
time wisely.
Parents remain a strong influence, especially when children admire them. Teens who have positive
relationships with their parents often adopt similar values and behaviors. However, children who go through
family break-ups may struggle more in school or feel less emotionally stable, compared to those from intact
families.
In conclusion, teenagers are deeply affected by the relationships in their lives. These relationships can either
help or hinder their personal growth. It's important for teens to be guided in a way that motivates them to
develop into confident, responsible, and caring individuals.
