As a newspaper advice columnist, my mother counsels people regarding their personal problems almost every day. Most of the questions she gets are predictable, but some are unexpected. For instance, a man wrote her asking how to treat a stiff neck. He probably thought my mom was a physician because of the ‘Dr.’ printed before her name. This wouldn’t have happened had she made it clear to her readers that she is a psychologist. She was obviously to blame when ___________.
(a) her readers depended on her for guidance
(b) the person mistook her for a physician
(c) the man didn’t seek medical treatment
(d) people didn’t acknowledge her medical degree
