Leannes friends love her 60-year-old mother, Liz, who is very warm and friendly. In fact, Liz encourages Leanne to bring over her friends for cocktail parties or cookouts every weekend that she is free (i.e., when shes not involved with a book club, painting class, or yoga retreat). Although Leanne appreciates her mothers hospitality, she frequently declines these invitations because of the complications surrounding her closest friend, Alicia. Alicia would be hurt not to be included, but might dampen the party with her anxiety, anger, hostility, and tendency towards depression. Leanne never knows what she will do or say next. The Big Five trait that best describes this aspect of Alicias personality is ____.

a. neuroticism
b. cynicism
c. instability
d. unpredictability
