    How does bad news feel to you? - ProProfs

    How does bad news feel to you?

    • Less surprising

    • Hurting

    • Blank

    • Nothing

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    When bad news feels less surprising, it implies that the person has already anticipated or expected something negative to happen. This could be due to previous experiences or a general understanding of the situation. Therefore, when the bad news is received, it doesn't come as a shock or a surprise, but rather confirms what was already anticipated.
