Answer:

Lana thinking that being late for dinner is a catastrophe

Step-by-step explanation:

Cognitive distortion refers to a situation when our own mind convince us of something that isn't really true. (Like what happen to Lana when she thought that she is a catastrophe even if other people around her do not think so at all)

On most cases, cognitive distortion is rooted on poor perception on our self-worth which make us perceive every little negative things that happen in our life appears bigger than it actually is and it occurs because of our inherent defect.
