None of these choices are correct.B. is going through a phase, and will return to the Baptist church within a year.C. has conflict with her parents.D. is testing her parents.

Answer 1

Answer:

According to research, Alyssa probably C. has a conflict with her parents.

Explanation:

Conflicts between adolescent children and their parents are very common during children’s transition to adulthood. Adolescent children often referred to as teenagers, experiment with various views in order to manifest their right for freedom.

Here, Alyssa grew up in a Baptist family and was a part of this church for most of her life. Meanwhile, like many adolescents, she assumes new ideas and beliefs just to prove to herself that she can do it and exercise her freedom to do so.

This conclusion can be made due to a drastic move of being ‘all done with the Baptists’ after she had only had a relatively short and limited experience with Buddhism.
