When considering the THINK questions for commenting on a friend's photo where he observes she looks tired, Xavier might answer "yes" to the following criteria:

  1. Is it true? - If he genuinely thinks she looks tired based on her appearance in the photo, he can affirm this as true.
  2. Is it necessary? - This one might vary, but if he feels it's important for her to know that she looks tired (perhaps because she might be overworked or not getting enough rest), he could say yes to this as well, although it depends on context.

However, it is likely that he would not answer "yes" to "Is it kind?" since commenting on someone looking tired might not be perceived as kind.

Overall, the responses could be:

  • Yes to "Is it true?"
  • Possible "yes" to "Is it necessary?" depending on context.

He would likely say "no" to both "Is it helpful?" and "Is it kind?" for the comment to be considered appropriate.
