Answer 1

Emotional abuse is a form of damage done to an individual where the abuser elicits negative cognitive, emotional or mental response through various means. The phrases within the options describe different forms of emotional abuse. Bullying is a type of aggression that may be physical, verbal, or relational, where one or several individuals intentionally cause harm, discomfort, and distress to another individual or group. Imposing inappropriate age restrictions is another way of exerting power or control. Lastly, deliberately driving down a child’s self-esteem and mental wellbeing through utterances like telling a child that they are worthless or stupid is another disgusting form of emotional abuse. In this context, all mentioned behaviors are a form of emotional abuse hence their composite claim in the last option is valid.
