Answer
A
Members can help her know that she is not alone.
B
Members can give Angelica advice about what she should ask her doctor.
C
Members can share their stories about getting better.
D
Members can provide direct medical advice so she does not need to see her doctor.
E
Members can give her advice on controlling her symptoms.
Explanation
A support group can help Angelica feel less alone and let her hear how others with the same condition have coped or improved. Members may also suggest questions to bring to her doctor and share ideas for managing symptoms. However, their advice is not a substitute for medical care, so D is not a benefit: she should continue to consult her doctor.
