what is one refusal skill for avoiding underage drinking?
a. suggest an alternative activity
b. apologize for refusing
c. accept the offer but not drink
d. ignore the situation

Explanation:

First Question:

The decision - making process starts with identifying the decision that needs to be made. Reflecting on the outcome is a later step, weighing options comes after gathering information and identifying the decision, and gathering information is done after identifying the decision. So the first step is to identify the decision.

To avoid underage drinking, a good refusal skill is to suggest an alternative activity. Apologizing for refusing is not a refusal skill, accepting the offer but not drinking still involves accepting the offer which is not a good refusal, and ignoring the situation does not address the offer. So suggesting an alternative activity is a valid refusal skill.

Answer:

d. Identify the decision
