Question

When diana caught a mouse in a trap, she called her neighbor to come throw it away. she told him she was a real wimp when it came to mice and just couldn't bring herself to touch dead animals. what strategy was diana using to get her neighbor to come to her aid?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is self-deprecating
self-deprecating refers to the act of undervaluing your own capabilities/worth.
If used correctly, self-deprecating would make it more likely for someone to sympathize with you.
This will increase their likelihood to give some sort of help for you and feel good about themselves/
