multiple choice question
an event that hinders the fulfillment of one or more face needs is known as a(n) ______ act.
○ unstable
○ face-threatening
○ self-fulfilling

Explanation:

Face needs refer to the desire to maintain a positive self-image in social interactions. An act that interferes with or blocks the satisfaction of these needs is defined as face-threatening. The other options do not match this definition: "unstable" refers to lack of stability, "self-fulfilling" describes a prophecy that comes true due to belief in it, and "self-monitoring" is about adjusting behavior based on social cues.

Answer:

face-threatening
