Role-playing involves four core themes: 1. doing as much as you can 2. having meaningful relationships 3. being positive 4. talking better

• A. doing as much as you can; having meaningful relationships; being positive; talking better
• B. planning; discipline; silence; repetition
• C. listening; speaking; writing; reading
• D. short-term goals; compliance; evaluation; feedback

Answer: (A)

Role-playing centers on practicing participation in real-life situations by focusing on maximizing what you can do, building meaningful relationships, maintaining a positive attitude, and improving how you talk. The four themes listed align with this approach: doing as much as you can encourages active participation; having meaningful relationships emphasizes social connection; being positive supports engagement and resilience; talking better targets communication skills essential for interaction. The other sets don’t fit because they emphasize planning, discipline, silence, or repetition; or they focus on basic skills like listening and reading without the broader participation and relational aims; or they frame therapy around goals and evaluation rather than the experiential practice of interaction. So this combination best matches how role-playing is used.
