Answer 1

The right answer is C. Gina, who feels that she never does well on written assignments and that she's just not good at sociology. Depression is accompanied by feelings of inferiority and a sense of hopelessness that prevent the person from objectively assessing their personal abilities and perceive that they are not able to face the situations of their daily life, such as academic or work activities.
