Answer 2

Answer: A. A person who seeks power and control will often become aggressive and then violent.

It can be difficult to recognize the signs of domestic abuse. However, this happens when one person in an intimate relationship tries to dominate or control the other person. Since the purpose of the abuser is to dominate, he or she will use any tactic possible in order to belittle and intimidate the partner. These attitudes can include using fear, shame and even violence.
