Unit 4

Please read the following conversation and answer the question at the end.

Provider: You’re right, that’s what I should have said. That was probably a hard time for you. Did you know much about her?

Marta: (shakes her head and shrugs) not really.

Provider: Do you know if she ever had a problem with alcohol?

Marta: Like being an alcoholic?

Provider: Yes

Marta: (shrugs) I heard she drank, yeah.

Provider: Do you know if she drank when she was pregnant with you?

Marta: I don’t know… that’s a weird question. Why are you asking that?

Provider: Did the question make you uncomfortable? Sometimes when women drink during pregnancy their kids can end up having extra challenges. Do you know what I mean when I say challenges?

Marta: Sure

Provider: Can you give me an example?

Marta: (shrugs) I don’t know.
