Teenagers are considered adult offenders at 18 years old. Do you think that this age should be raised, considering the information provided in the text? Why or why not? What would

be the benefits and risks of raising the age?

It should be raised

Explanation:

A scientifically proven fact that the brain does not reach maturity until the age of 25. For males, their hormonal changes are still taking place at the age of 30 where they fully mature into a man's body.

If the brain or body are not mature at the age of 18 then the definition of an adult is not attached to maturity or development but to existence and expectation.

It is wholly unfair to determine the level of one's intellect based on the time of existence rather than it's actual capability.

In that same vein, every individual matures differently and it might be in the best interest of the offender if they are given an evaluation to determine their capacity and then they can be appropriately charged for a crime.

comfortable

explanation:

one type of the adjectives is predicate adjective. a predicate adjective is an adjective which follows a linking verb and modifies or refers back to the main subject of that linking verb.

it usually is used just before the noun it modies.

here in this example:

'penguins seem comfortable in the coolest habitats', comfortable is the predicate adjective which follows the linking verb 'seem' and modifies the noun.
