Question

raquel recently received a poor grade on a school assignment. her mother has noticed that raquel is staying up late at night. raquel is revising her homework several times and studying constantly. she has been eating very little and has complained of stomach trouble. which sign suggests that raquel might benefit from professional mental health services? ○ losing her appetite ○ studying constantly ○ receiving a poor grade ○ feeling sad about her poor grade

Explanation:

To determine which sign suggests Raquel might need mental health services, we analyze each option:

• "losing her appetite": Persistent appetite loss (along with stomach trouble) can indicate stress - related mental health issues affecting physical health, a sign warranting professional help.
• "studying constantly": While excessive, it's a behavioral response to poor grade, not a clear mental health red flag on its own.
• "receiving a poor grade": A single poor grade is a normal academic setback, not a mental health indicator.
• "feeling sad about her poor grade": Temporary sadness over a grade is normal, not a sign of needing professional mental health services.

Answer:

A. losing her appetite
