a,passive b,aggresive c,passive aggressive,d,assertive

Answer 1

I think the answer is C passive aggresive

Answer 2

c, passive aggressive

Step-by-step explanation:

Pamela is communicating and behaving in a passive-aggressive way.

This type of behavior is characterized when an individual is insensitive or resistant to satisfying other individuals which he is interacting with. It is a behavior loaded with debauchery and negative attitudes, but done in a veiled and not literal way. The person is stubborn, tries to victimize himself, is cranky and full of resentment, but he does it discreetly, not to mention what is really bothering him.
