Della was invited to a get-together at the home of a friend’s friend. When she arrived, Della found out that the girl’s parents were not home and saw others drinking and smoking. What would be an assertive way for Della to let her friend know she is not interested in staying at the party?
Answer: She could try to make up an excuse that wouldn't hurt her friend's feelings so she can leave the party, or she could say she had homework to do, or she could say she had chores to do or something like that.
