Final answer:
The least likely occurrence when Wilma sees a man in pain is her choosing a comfortable block to walk on, as this decision is not relevant to the immediate situation and does not demonstrate empathy or immediate response to the man's discomfort.
Step-by-step explanation:
Wilma is walking down a busy sidewalk when she sees a man who seems to be in pain. The scenario least likely to occur in this situation is a. She selects a block where she is comfortable walking because she knows many of the people living on the street. Such a choice would typically be made earlier before seeing someone in pain and would not directly deal with the immediate situation of encountering a person who is in distress. A more likely reaction in this situation could be showing concern, offering help, or seeking assistance for the man. The presence of discomfort or pain would generally elicit a compassionate response rather than simply continuing to walk in comfort.
Examples of common human reactions in various scenarios include intervening to help someone cross the street, as in the story about Jane, or feeling conflicted about one's obligations in a society that has social disparities, as Dorothy experienced. Additionally, rushing over to help the man in pain would align with these examples of empathy and civic responsibility.
