Answer 1

Nine months after the program, these attitudes waned a bit but were still more favorable than they had been at the beginning of the program.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Many a time what people living in conflict-prone areas needs is a new perspective about life and things around them. This is what is done in the seeds of peace programs which brings together the youth of different conflict-prone regions and cultivates the leadership skills in them.

The survey has proved this point when the young teenagers belonging to Israel and Palestine participated in the program and after the period of nine months, favorable intergroup attitudes could be observed.
