Story 15: Helping a Friend with a Challenge

Story: Your friend Maria has been struggling with her math homework and is feeling overwhelmed. She’s
afraid to ask for help.

MCQ 3: What is the most appropriate way to demonstrate empathy in this situation

A) Make fun of Maria’s struggles to motivate her to do better.

B) Ignore Maria’s problems and focus on your own Work.

C) Offer to help Maria with her math homework and explain concepts patiently.

D) Tell Maria To stop complaining and get over it.

Justification and Answer : C) Offer to help Maria with her math homework and explain concepts
patiently.

The most appropriate way to demonstrate empathy in this situation is to offer help to Maria and explain
the concepts patiently. This shows understanding and support for her struggles and lets her know that
she’s not alone. Making fun of her struggles or ignoring her problems would not be helpful and could
make her feel worse. Encouraging her to stop complaining and get over it is dismissive of her feelings
and does not offer the necessary support.

Devastated.

MCQ 4: What is the most appropriate way to demonstrate empathy in this situation?

A) Tell Tom that He’s overreacting and it’s not a big deal.
B) Share how relieved you are that you got into your dream College to make him feel worse.

C) Listen to Tom’s feelings, offer your support, and suggest Alternatives.

D) Avoid Tom because you don’t know what to say.

Justification and Answer : C) Listen to Tom’s feelings, offer your support, and suggest alternatives.

In this situation, it’s important to show empathy towards your friend Tom. By listening to his feelings,
offering your support, and suggesting alternatives, you show that you care about his well-being and want
to help him through this difficult time. Telling him that he’s overreacting or making him feel worse by
sharing your own success would be insensitive and dismissive of his emotions. Avoiding him because you
don’t know what to say would also be unhelpful because it leaves him feeling isolated and unsupported.
