The statement “Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem” is true.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not applicable
• D. It depends

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is that suicide ends any chance to deal with the problem and to move toward a safer, healthier outcome. In crisis situations, many problems feel overwhelming but are often temporary or solvable with support, time, and the right resources. The act of ending one’s life is irreversible, so it eliminates the possibility of reaching solutions or experiencing future relief, growth, or change. That’s why this statement is true: it serves as a stark reminder to seek help and intervene to keep the person safe, because there are options now that can lead to a better outcome later. The other choices don’t fit because they imply the situation is either reversible in its result, not applicable, or dependent on circumstances, which doesn’t align with the permanent nature of suicide as a decision.
