Explanation
Answer - C - High school teens always have interests. No matter what, they have friends, they’re going to school, and they have experiences at home that they like to relate to people who can understand. The other options all have an aspect of blaming that is involved. In order to make progress, you must be willing to explore some of those interests further and eventually, you will be able to talk about underlying issues that brought him in.
