Which statement is a refusal strategy? “i will try it once, but that’s it.” “i like to use a different brand.” “my parents will be very disappointed in me.” “my friends and i prefer weed to what you are using.”

“I will try it once, but that’s it."

Break a leg! (Not literally lol)

C: "My parents will be very disappointed in me.”

EXPLANATION:

This is because the person refusing is using the thought and excuse of getting into trouble with their parents if they drank/smoked/etc.

This is a refusal strategy because the person is saying they would get into trouble if they did use a substance like those, and are implying they'd rather not and would rather be healthy, so saying "My parents will be very disappointed in me." is a way of saying no, thus making it a refusal strategy.

not concrete, existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence
