Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The correct response is open ended to seek out more specifically why she is upset. Responses B and C shut down communication. Response D is making an assumption of why she is upset.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Encourages expression of feelings rather than a yes/no answer. Use of open-ended questions facilitates more open communication.
