Sophia and layla are laying on the beach one sunny day when they see a woman walk past. they are astounded at the condition of this woman's skin. she is deeply bronzed from years of tanning, and her skin has a wrinkled and leathery look. sophia says, "i can't believe she thinks that is good for her skin!" layla, having read your textbook, says, "she may be tanning like that to cover up some flaw that she perceives in her own skin." layla is clearly implying that this woman suffers from ________ disorder. question 9 options:

Respuesta :

saturns

It sounds like layla is implying the woman is body dysmorphic.

body dysmorphic disorder is defined as "Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), occasionally still called dysmorphophobia, is a mental disorder characterized by the obsessive idea that some aspect of one's own body part or appearance is severely flawed and warrants exceptional measures to hide or fix their dysmorphic part on their person"

And since layla says ""she may be tanning like that to cover up some flaw that she perceives in her own skin," this sounds like she's saying the woman is trying to cover up a flaw (by tanning) that she sees on her body. the obsessive tanning to get rid of this flaw caused her skin to get all wrinkled and leathery. (again - we can't know for sure if this is actually true about the woman, it's just about what layla is implying.)

i hope my answer made sense and could help you, let me know if you need further help on this question! :)
