Question

Verbal emotional abuse includes ______.

Options

• rejecting

• isolating

• insulting

Answer 1

Verbal emotional abuse includes insulting.

Explanation:

Verbal emotional abuse involves using words to harm, belittle, or control someone emotionally. Insulting includes name-calling, humiliation, and negative criticism, which can lower a person's self-esteem and cause psychological distress. Unlike rejecting or isolating, which are forms of neglect or social abuse, insulting directly targets a person's emotions through speech.
