Elisa Anthony · Answer 1

The obese woman

Step-by-step explanation:

Obese people are usually at disadvantage in their work life, such as losing chances to being promoted and their private life, where they lack peer relationships and find it difficult to become married. This most times akes them to have low self-self esttem and become depressive which can lead to actions related to someone with mental disorder.

Connor most likely gave the obese woman the highest rating of guilt as she was the most vulnerable of the four who was likely to take actions related to someone with mental disorder.
