Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This question suggests that Kevin and Andrew were exposed to similar trauma during their military service, yet only Kevin developed PTSD upon returning home. The key difference between them may be their ability to cope with emotional distress. Option A suggests that Andrew actually experienced higher levels of emotional distress than Kevin, which contradicts the question. Option C suggests that Andrew is actually growing as a result of the trauma, which also contradicts the question. Option D suggests that Kevin is actually growing as a result of the trauma, which may be a possibility but is not the most reasonable explanation given the information provided, as Kevin is specifically noted to be experiencing PTSD. Therefore, option B is the most reasonable answer, suggesting that Kevin experienced higher levels of emotional distress than Andrew, leading to his development of PTSD.
