A refusal skill

A refusal skill

• A. is something that can practiced
• B. is a strategy to say no or resist pressure
• C. is a sign of weakness
• D. a method to persuade others

Answer: (B)

Refusal skills are the tools you use to decline offers or push back when someone tries to pressure you, framed as an assertive yet respectful way to say no and protect your boundaries. They’re practiced so you can respond confidently in real situations rather than giving in to pressure or risk. While you can indeed practice them, that doesn’t define what they are—the core idea is the strategy to say no or resist pressure. They aren’t a sign of weakness; they’re healthy, proactive ways to assert your choices. And they aren’t about persuading others; they’re about resisting unwanted pressure and keeping yourself safe or aligned with your values.
