when Professor Jones maintains a distance of at least two feet from her while he assists her with her tutoring.
In view of this, which statement applies to the relationships that Jackie shares with Seth and with her
professor?
A) Seth is enjoying intimate distance and the professor is at public distance.
B) Seth is enjoying social distance and the professor is at public distance.
C) Seth is enjoying intimate distance and the professor is at personal distance.
D) Seth is enjoying social distance and the professor is at personal distance.

Answer 1

Seth enjoys intimate distance with Jackie, while the professor maintains personal distance with her.

Step-by-step explanation:

Seth and Professor Jones have different relationships with Jackie in terms of the distance they maintain. Seth enjoys being close to Jackie, which is considered intimate distance. This is the distance typically reserved for close relationships and is usually within 18 inches. On the other hand, Professor Jones maintains a distance of at least two feet from Jackie while tutoring her, which is personal distance. Personal distance is the distance typically maintained in professional settings or with acquaintances. Therefore, the correct statement is option C: Seth is enjoying intimate distance, and the professor is at personal distance.

Answer 2

A) Seth is enjoying intimate distance and the professor is at public distance.

As the statement states that Jackie and Seth likes to be very close to one another with this, it can be associated that they are intimate with one another and possess a little significant social distance to each other which opposes the next clause that claims a public distance of two feet from the individual which is Seth and the professor.
