Several of Pearl’s friends will shoplift if they are in a drugstore or anywhere they can pick up small items. Pearl generally waits in the car because, while she likes her friends, she does not want anything to do with this behavior. For the most part, they respect her decision. Every now and then they try to get her to go with them to prove to her that it is not a big deal. Which statement BEST explains why her friends would want her to participate? Select one:

a.
Pearl is clearly a little uptight, and they want her to change.

b.
The shoplifting does not seem as bad if everyone is doing it.

c.
It is unusual to respect someone else’s boundaries in a relationship.

d.
As long as they are only taking small items, it is really not a big deal.
