If you follow the steps proposed by the CRAAP test you can check whether the one responsible for the news/article(s) has any motivation to favor one side of the story, if the story is relevant, for instance, what is more relevant for the future of a nation? A governmental transaction or what a famous person has to say about Trump or Obama? Maybe highlighting the latter would be a strategy to hide or diminish the impact of the former piece of news, a smoke screen because itis easier to dwelve into what somebody says, gossip, than to check the truthfulness of some information about what is going on with some politicians.  

Also, sometimes people get half of the story or are simply misled to believe a distortion of the true facts, that is why it is important to check if the information is verifiable and indeed if the information is true.

The correct answer is A. Dependent personality disorder

Explanation:

In psychology, a personality disorder refers to a type of mental disorder that commonly involves persistent and nocive behaviors and thoughts. This includes narcissistic personality disorder that implies thoughts and behaviors that are self-centered; borderline personality disorder that involves changing moods, actions, thoughts and self-image; avoidant personality disorder that involves social anxiety and inhibition; and dependent personality disorder that occurs when individuals depend on other people to meet certain emotional needs, because of this, individuals with this disorder experience anxiety when they are asked to act autonomously and rely on others to make decisions and feel confident.

Considering this, Jerry is likely to be diagnosed with a dependent personality disorder because he needs from others to make basic decisions, lacks self-confidence and experiences anxiety or fear if he does not rely on others, which is part of this disorder.
