• A. Hard Service
• B. Educational service
• C. Community outreach
• D. Soft service

Answer: (D)

Think about the difference between tangible goods and the kinds of support you get from a helper. Soft services are intangible, person-centered supports provided through professional help—things like tutoring, counseling, legal advice, and rehab. They involve guidance, skill-building, advocacy, and emotional or cognitive support rather than giving a physical item or building. Because tutoring and counseling are about developing abilities and aiding recovery through interaction and expertise, they fit soft services perfectly. Hard services, by contrast, are the concrete goods or infrastructure (like facilities or physical resources). Educational service and community outreach describe a type of activity or focus, but they don’t capture the essence of providing ongoing, intangible support in the way soft services do.
