A Incorrect. Having been overcome with grief at the death of an elderly lady who was her babysitter, the most likely explanation for reacting very little to the death of an older brother is not that she is hiding the grief for her brother because it is so painful.
B Correct. A major factor influencing how children react to grief is the relationship with the deceased. For example, a child may have little reaction to the death of an older sibling where there has been little contact or interaction, yet may react significantly to the loss of the after-school care provider.
C Incorrect. Having been overcome with grief at the death of an elderly lady who was her babysitter, the most likely explanation for reacting very little to the death of an older brother is not that this child values the elderly more than she does younger people.
D Incorrect. Having been overcome with grief at the death of an elderly lady who was her babysitter, the most likely explanation for reacting very little to the death of an older brother is not that she was mad at her brother for being so uncaring as to die.
