Question

applying
you are at your friend’s house when you find a six - pack of beer in the garage. your friend suggests you take the beer and drink it at the park down the road.
which responses below are good refusal strategies in this situation? check all that apply.
□ “no, that doesn’t sound good to me.”
□ “you should not just drink beer!”
□ “let’s just play basketball at the park instead.”
□ “i think i am just going to go home.”
□ “all right, if you think it’s okay.”

Explanation:

To determine good refusal strategies, we analyze each option:

• "No, that doesn't sound good to me." directly refuses the idea clearly.
• "How about we just drink tea?" offers an alternative, a positive refusal strategy.
• "Let's just play basketball at the park instead." suggests a different activity, avoiding the beer.
• "I think I am just going to go home." removes oneself from the situation, a refusal.
• "All right, if you think it's okay." agrees, so it's not a refusal.

So the good refusal strategies are the first, second, third, and fourth options.

Answer:

• "No, that doesn't sound good to me."
• "How about we just drink tea?"
• "Let's just play basketball at the park instead."
• "I think I am just going to go home."
