Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice would be for Tracy to offer her seat to the mother and child. It is the polite and respectful thing to do, especially considering that the mother is standing with a young child. It shows empathy and consideration towards others in need. Choosing option A, remaining seated, may come across as selfish or unkind. Option C, thinking negatively about the mother's parenting choices, is judgmental and not helpful. Option D, asking others to give up their seats, is not as proactive as directly offering her own seat.
