Question 4 of 5
An adult dies in a tragic accident. Afterward, the siblings plan a funeral service. Which statement by a sibling best indicates a sense of self-actualization?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it demonstrates a sense of self-actualization by focusing on finding meaning and positivity in a difficult situation. The sibling acknowledges the unfairness of the death but aims to create a service that celebrates life, showing acceptance, growth, and a higher level of personal fulfillment. Choice A: This statement focuses on the sibling's experience rather than reflecting on the significance of the funeral service. Choice B: While this statement emphasizes conducting the funeral respectfully, it lacks the personal growth and positive outlook that characterize self-actualization. Choice D: This statement is judgmental and places blame on the deceased sibling, showing a lack of understanding and empathy, which is not indicative of self-actualization.

This choice directly reflects the situation described and addresses the root cause of the behavior. A: Deficient knowledge does not address the social aspect of the issue. B: Ineffective coping implies the individual is trying to cope with a specific stressor, not necessarily related to social interactions. D: Powerlessness does not capture the essence of the individual's situation, which is more about social withdrawal than a sense of powerlessness.
