Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A correct rejection is when someone does not engage in unwanted sexual behavior and the other person does not pressure or force them to do so. In this example, Mary is not consenting to sex with Mark while he is drunk, and Mark does not pressure her into changing her decision. This is a healthy and respectful interaction. Choices A and B involve avoidance behaviors, which may not address the underlying issue, while choice D involves confrontation, which can lead to coercion and an unsafe situation.
