Question

When June was 7 years old, she and her mother were stuck in an elevator. Several other people were in the elevator as well. The elevator became hot and stuffy, and breathing became difficult. June remembers experiencing shortness of breath, palpitations, and dizziness. Now June refuses to ride elevators. When she is with other people, she makes excuses to use the stairs. June is probably suffering from _____.

a. a situational type phobia
b. an animal-type phobia
c. social phobia
d. a natural environment type phobia

Answer 1

a situational type phobia

Answer 2

A. A situational type phobia

Step-by-step explanation:

The fear is being around other people and correlates with that one situation where she was in a elevator and got super hot resulting in shortness of breath and other things. So she refuses to take an elevator and takes the stairs. So based on that situation she kind of has developed a phobia of elevators with a bunch of people or even doesn't want to ride an elevator at all due to her past situation. Thus being a situational type phobia.
