Among teenagers, more _______ try to kill themselves.

• A. Boys
• B. Girls
• C. Teens
• D. Adults

Answer: (B)

Among teenagers, suicide attempts occur more often in girls than in boys. This means that when we look at who is more likely to try to kill themselves during adolescence, it’s the girls who have the higher rate of attempts. This pattern contrasts with completion rates, where boys die by suicide more often because those attempts tend to be more lethal. The other options don’t fit because they don’t describe a gender group within teenagers: boys have lower attempt rates, teens as a generic group isn’t specifying gender, and adults are outside the teenage population. So the best fit is girls.
