Answer 1

In terms of their ability, Maureen is better at recognition and Paula is more expressive.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Every individual has their unique personality. Some may be introvert and others may be extrovert.  People with introvert personality are shy and prefer to be in an environment with minimal stimulants whereas extroverts are outgoing and like to be surrounded by people.

Introverts are usually good in recognising emotions, facial expressions but expressing the same is not their cup of tea. But extroverts are very good in expressing the emotions and feelings. Hence in the present situation, Maureen being introvert is good at recognition and Paula being extrovert can express well.
