Which of these comments, if made by Mrs. Warren before her surgery, would indicate that she had concerns about her body image?

  1. "I will have to stop my aerobics classes."

  2. "I'm so afraid I may not survive the surgery."

  3. "I need to go shopping for some loose, baggy clothes."

  4. "I'm concerned that this may be only the first of many surgeries."

The correct answer is: "I need to go shopping for some loose, baggy clothes."

The correct answer is C. "I need to go shopping for some loose, baggy clothes." This comment indicates that Mrs. Warren may have concerns about her body image post-surgery, as she is already thinking about adjusting her wardrobe to accommodate potential changes in her body shape. This statement suggests that she might be worried about how her body will appear after the surgery and is possibly preparing to conceal any perceived changes with loose clothing. Options A, B, and D do not directly relate to concerns about body image. Option A suggests a practical consideration related to physical activity, Option B reflects fear of not surviving the surgery, and Option D indicates a concern about the possibility of future surgeries.
