Question

Sarah: “Tell me all about your weekend! Was it nice to be on the beach?”

Rose: “It was awful! It rained the whole time and I didn’t get to spend any time on the beach at all. Instead, we were all cooped up in the hotel room; my little brother and sister were driving me insane! Hopefully that’s the last family vacation we take for a while!”
Sarah: “I’m so sorry! My weekend was so boring, I spent the whole time by myself with nothing to do. If you’d been here, we’d have had lots more fun!”
Rose: “It sounds like we both had pretty awful weekends and now we have to deal with that stupid Math test...”

Answer 2

The best answer is C, the dialogue reflects that women tend to communicate to build relationships. Communication is essential to building relationships because it helps people find common interests, share different points of view and creates empathy and bonding. In this example, Sarah begins by showing interest in Rose's weekend, and then they bond over similar boring experiences, in the end, they conclude that they would have had a better time if they had been together, which makes their relationship stronger.
