Answer 1

(1)The general public may still think of Girl Scouts as pigtailed lasses who earn merit badges for learning to apply tourniquets to stop bleeding. (2)However, that image is dated. (3)Girl Scouts today are more likely to be talking about making career choices or dealing with sexual pressure than about building campfires or knitting afghans.

(4)In recent years, the New York City-based Girl Scouts organization has been bombarded with criticism that its programs were no longer relevant to today’s young females. (5)In response, Girl Scouts began overhauling the merit badge programs and updating its guidebooks for members. (6)Drugs, sex abuse, and teen pregnancy are all topics dealt with in Girl Scout books published since 1987. (7)Girls today can earn merit badges reflecting current issues. (8)For example, badges are available for Girl Scouts who demonstrate their understanding of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. (9)The result of these changes is that the Scouts organization helps members become more realistically prepared to deal with their lives.

Answer 8

There is another question @girlover from the same passage

Answer 9

i think it's A, because the text and sentence 9 don't show any different opinions... so they don't compare any 2 things.
C is likely not to be the right answer although the sentence starts with: "The result is...", but the context is more like this:
Text: Girl Scouts help people.
Sentence 9: For example they help members become prepared for life.

So it's an illustration, isn't it?
