Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Looking the driver directly in the eye shows confidence and honesty, which may make the driver more willing to give Ben a ride. Begging or pretending to be injured may come across as desperate or insincere, and telling the driver they will never see Ben again may make them less likely to want to help.
