Which of the following statements is suggested by the passage?

A. The effects of smoking salvia are short-lived, but intense.

- Relevant text: "subjects losing focus for approximately seven to ten minutes, followed by enthusiastic claims regarding the transformative experience."
- Analysis:
- "Losing focus for 7-10 minutes" $\boldsymbol{\rightarrow}$ short-lived effect.
- "Transformative experience" (despite uninspired footage) suggests intensity (at least subjectively).
- Conclusion: Supported by the passage.

Here what mislead you is that the question cites" the effect of smoking" which clearly is not in the passage. However, this is a question posed by the author. here the key points are the effects and if the are intense but short. And this is true. Then IF the author tells us that the salvia was smoked, inhaled, sniffed in is irrelevant.

B. Posting a public video of oneself engaging in the use of mindaltering substances is a cry for help.

- Relevant text: The passage mentions parental fears but never implies teens are "crying for help."
- Analysis:
- The focus is on risks (privacy, predators, legality), not psychological motives.
- "Cry for help" is an interpretation beyond the text (could be attention-seeking, recklessness, etc.).
- Conclusion: Not supported.


C. Young people who expose their private drug use could open themselves to being targeted by pushers of more dangerous drugs.


- Relevant text: "open invitation to online predators."
- Analysis:
- "Predators" could include drug pushers (a logical extension of "dangerous individuals exploiting vulnerability").
- While not explicitly stated, the passage suggests risks from public exposure, and drug pushers are a plausible threat.
- Conclusion: Supported (implied by the broader warning about predators).

In my view C is troublesome because when we say predators we COULD also include drug dealers. It is a little ambiguous
