Question

6. Which situation most clearly shows an example of people squabbling?

a. Jose asks Leila for advice on how to fix his bicycle.
b. Kim and Li fight over who gets to go first up the stairs.
c. Jamal bores his friends with stories of winning video games.
d. Ed and Ramón discuss their differing opinions about politics.

Answer 1

Answer D most clearly shows an example of people squabbling.

Explanation: The definition of the root word “squabble” is to argue over trivial matters. Answer D displays the clear example of squabbling because politics is a trivial topic that can cause extreme controversy. B is the only other reasonable answer but is incorrect because whoever goes up the stairs first is not a complex decision.
