Theories centering on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior 1 they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through interactions with others.
在解答这道题目时,考生需要先察觉到前后两个句子是完整的;另一方面,前面句子“children engage in criminal behavior”(孩子从事犯罪行为),而后面的句子“they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through interactions with others”(他们以前的恶性没有受到应有的惩罚或者是他们通过彼此的影响而学会了犯罪),所以不难看出前后两个句子之间是非常明显的因果关系。因此,正确答案为D选项,因果逻辑关系连词because(因为) 。
参考译文:
Theories centering on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior because they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through interactions with others.
