Question

The passage indicates that negative responses to a child can lead to the child’s

• A. rebellion
• B. feeling of helplessness
• C. persistence in the task
• D. mimicking of the negative behavior

Answer 1

The correct option is B feeling of helplessness

Option (B)

The last sentence states that nagging is a constant reminder to the child of his or her lack of self control. Option B is the closest to this view. Option A can be eliminated as the passage does not talk about the child reacting to such nagging. Nothing in the passage says the child will persist in the task. Option C is eliminated. Options D is beyond the scope of the passage.
