Question

Sabrina Mendoza · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Elayni's reduced sadness and occasional anxiety indicate that she is in the recovery stage of reaction to the catastrophe. Her need to repeatedly recount her experiences to others is also common during this stage as individuals try to make sense of what happened and integrate the experience into their lives. The other options, despair, shock, and suggestible, do not accurately reflect Elayni's current state.
