People who feel they belong but live alone and experience frequent conflicts with others and perceive limited social support are experiencing what?

• A. Social isolation
• B. Serious illness
• C. Occupational stress
• D. An abusive environment

Answer: (A)

Social isolation is the key idea here. Even if someone feels they belong, living alone and perceiving little social support with frequent conflicts signals a weak or unsatisfying social network. Social isolation focuses on the actual number and quality of social connections and the perceived availability of support, which fits this scenario better than illness, work stress, or an abusive environment, none of which centrally describe a lack of social ties or support.
