Question

emily has not been taking her school work seriously. her friends are concerned that she is failing english, so they have planned a study session.
what are emilys friends doing?
○ showing disappointment
○ showing reciprocity
○ engaging in positive peer pressure
○ engaging in negative peer pressure

Explanation:

To determine what Emily’s friends are doing, we analyze each option:

• "Showing disappointment" is incorrect because the friends are taking action (planning a study session) rather than just expressing disappointment.
• "Showing reciprocity" is incorrect as there’s no indication of a mutual exchange or reciprocal action here.
• "Engaging in positive peer pressure" is correct. Positive peer pressure involves peers encouraging or influencing someone to make positive choices (like studying to improve grades). The friends are planning a study session to help Emily do better in English, which is a positive influence.
• "Engaging in negative peer pressure" is incorrect because negative peer pressure would involve influencing someone to make bad choices, while this is a positive effort to help Emily succeed.

Answer:

C. engaging in positive peer pressure
