Read the excerpt. Which phrase is a context clue that can help determine the meaning of the word demographic?
Plenty of evidence exists about the hazards involved with smoking, leading experts to believe that quitting smoking at any point will result in improved health. But due to the addictive nature of smoking cigarettes, many people will find quitting to be difficult, if not totally impossible. Still, if a person cannot quit, he or she should consider the impact smoking may have on those around them, particularly young children and infants. The lungs, nervous system, and immune system of young children are still developing. This development places children as a demographic group at an even greater risk of being harmed by secondhand smoke than people in older age groups. Young children are more likely to develop lung problems, allergies, and other medical conditions when they are frequently in the presence of a smoker. Some evidence has even linked sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) to secondhand smoking.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
