Answer 1

Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: instrumental.

Explanation:

Social support is the different types of help individuals receive from others in situations when they are in need. That support could be emotional (increasing self-esteem), informational (facilitating useful data), and instrumental (giving a hand in duties).  

Instrumental support refers to assistance in certain tasks individuals provide to help others fasten their work or to improve them. Thus, Anaya is giving instrumental support to Akono by helping her with the financial statements for Broadband Express.
