People everywhere make mistakes and it is no big deal. However, when you yourself make the mistake the consequences can be pretty harsh. One moment that I really regret is the time I broke into an abandoned house. I broke in with a group of friends because we wanted a little adventure. In our brains the house was abandoned and it was too early in the morning for people to be awake and see us. We snuck out of the house, walked four blocks, and tried getting into the house with a lock pick. I regret this moment because someone was awake and that someone called the cops. That is where the consequences began. We had to walk across town at four in the morning to get away from the cops, we came home and our father was already awake, and we never did get into that house. We were all grounded... For months.

Answer: B. For the most part their enthusiasm is adopted to suit the time and opportunity….
Explanation:
Answer:
Suzanne appears to be in the stage of B. Contemplation.
Explanation:
In 1977, the transtheoretical model of behavior change was developed. It is a result of analysis and application of several psychotherapy theories. Its purpose is to assess someone's readiness to change an unhealthy behavior, trading it for a healthier one. The stages are:
1. Precontemplation
2. Contemplation
3. Preparation
4. Action
5. Maintenance
6. Termination
<u>In the contemplation stage, the person is getting ready to change. They are able to see how their current behavior can be harmful, and consider the pros and cons of making the change. </u>However, they are not yet prepared, taking small steps in order to begin the change. That would be the preparation stage.
As we can see, Suzanne is not taking steps yet, thus she is not in the preparation stage. She has already gone past the stage of precontemplation, in which she is not ready at all and doesn't even understand how her behavior is making her unhealthy. <u>Suzanne can see the pros and cons of a change - she would feel stronger and healthier (pro) but would have to resist temptation (con). She is clearly considering change as a possibility, but is not thoroughly ready to start doing it. Therefore, she is in the contemplation stage.</u>
