Answer 1

When breaking up with someone, the text suggests avoiding which of the following?

The correct asnwer is All of the answers are correct.

Justification - The reason being all the answers are correct is because of these reasons:

the second alternative which talks about the silent treatment implies that, nothing should be spoken if someone is about to break up or two people are about to break up which is wrong, as it creates more tension and uncertainty in both the people's minds which only creates confusion and worsens the breakup.

The third alternative about sending a text when breaking up is a very bad idea, as the other individual should be treated ethically even if the one breaking up is not intrested in that person for he or she was important to that person at one point in their life and that person deserves to know the actual reason for the breakup in a more elaborate way than over a text message.

The last alternative, which is using the third party to break the news is the last thing one should do while breaking up, as it puts the person who is breaking up in a very bad spot. Like the person would be considered as unethical, a coward and a person who does not has any courtesy.
