multiple choice 10 points suicide is often linked to feelings of hopelessness and despair. which of the following is a sign of a person who might be considering suicide? talking about feeling trapped or being a burden to others. increased motivation and energy. sudden interest in a new hobby. making plans for a future vacation.

Explanation:

To determine a sign of a person considering suicide, we analyze each option:

• "Talking about feeling trapped or being a burden to others" aligns with the link between suicide and feelings of hopelessness/despair, as expressing such trapped or burdensome feelings is a known suicidal warning sign.
• "Increased motivation and energy" is typically a sign of improvement (e.g., in mental health recovery) rather than suicide risk.
• "Sudden interest in a new hobby" and "Making plans for a future vacation" suggest positive engagement with life, not suicidal intent.

Answer:

A. Talking about feeling trapped or being a burden to others
