Which term describes pulling away with no intent to harm?

• A. Passive resistance
• B. Verbal defiance
• C. Cooperation
• D. Physical restraint

Answer: (A)

Passive resistance is about withdrawing or stepping back as a nonviolent way to resist a request or pressure, without intending to harm anyone. This fits pulling away with no intent to harm because the action is about avoidance or delay rather than force or confrontation. It contrasts with verbal defiance, which uses words to challenge authority; cooperation, which means agreeing and working with others; and physical restraint, which involves holding someone back or restricting movement. In use, you might see someone backing away, disengaging, or delaying giving a response rather than arguing or pushing back.
