Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The person yelling "Help me!" is most likely to elicit a response from Janet, as it communicates a sense of urgency and danger. Factors such as being in a rush or worried about an upcoming test are unlikely to override this instinctual response to danger. Additionally, a crowded bus may make it more difficult for Janet to physically reach the person in need of help.
