(B) The step aims to develop a positive identity in Rhea.
(C) The step is expected to increase Rhea's confidence in herself.
(D) The counsellor is providing opportunities for development of vocational skills.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → A, B and C only
(A) The counsellor is accentuating positive life experiences. — Correct. Recalling her past prizes brings Rhea's good experiences to the front. This is accentuating positive life experiences.
(B) The step aims to develop a positive identity in Rhea. — Correct. The purpose of stressing positive experiences is to develop a positive identity, so Rhea sees herself as capable again.
(C) The step is expected to increase Rhea's confidence in herself. — Correct. Stressing positive experiences increases confidence in self, which is what Rhea has lost.
(D) The counsellor is providing opportunities for development of vocational skills. — Incorrect. Building vocational skills is a separate approach, where students get chances to learn work-related skills. Reminding Rhea of old prizes gives her no new skill, so it is not this approach.
