sariah recently quit their volleyball team, which she used to love. she has
started hanging out with a group of friends who are known for underage
drinking. lily wants to help sariah, but she doesnt know how or where to look
for resources. what is the best next step for lily?

b. try to forget about sariahs problems.

c. start ignoring sariah.

d. talk to sariahs new friends, whom she does not trust.

Explanation:

To determine the best next step for Lily, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Talking to a trusted volleyball coach is a reasonable step. The coach may have experience, resources, or advice to help Sariah, as Lily is unsure where to find help.
• Option B: Forgetting about Sariah's problems is unhelpful, as Lily wants to help and Sariah is struggling.
• Option C: Ignoring Sariah will not address her issues and goes against Lily's desire to help.
• Option D: Talking to Sariah's untrusted new friends is not a reliable way to get help and may not be productive.

So, the most logical and helpful action is to talk to the trusted volleyball coach.

Answer:

A. Talk to her volleyball coach, whom she trusts.
