Question

which behavior is one of the warning signs of suicide?
○ decreasing the use of alcohol or drugs
○ giving away a collection of prized belongings

○ experiencing a lack of mental concentration

Explanation:

To determine the warning sign of suicide, we analyze each option:

• "Decreasing the use of alcohol or drugs" is generally a positive change, not a suicide warning sign.
• "Giving away a collection of prized belongings" is a common warning sign as someone considering suicide may dispose of valued items, indicating they no longer see a future need for them.
• "Having trouble sleeping" and "experiencing a lack of mental concentration" can be symptoms of mental health issues like depression but are not specific warning signs of suicide compared to giving away prized belongings.

Answer:

B. giving away a collection of prized belongings
