Question

Tracy is a mother in her early 40s. She is taking part in a study which is investigating the "empty-nest syndrome" that occurs when children leave home. Tracy has two daughters who have recently moved out, one to attend college and the other to move in with a boyfriend. When asked how Tracy is adjusting to life without the girls, she is most likely to say,a. "I have had very little trouble adjusting to their departure."

b. "I have been devastated by their departure."
c. "My husband and I don't have a clue what we're going to do now."
d. "Our marriage has suddenly become troubled."

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B would be so drastic and dramatic. Option C is too wide and vaguem because it could be understood from very different points of view. Option D isn't valid since, if she knows that the "Empty-nest syndrome" has to do only with the children, she would have studied enough not to blame her marriage problems on their girl's departure.
