Spending extra time practicing your tennis swing to prepare for a match is an example of practicing delayed gratification. Delayed gratification is when you have to wait or work for a positive response.

The correct answer is: C. Ordering a salad instead of a burger at lunch

From the options listed above, ordering a salad instead of a burger at lunch, is the best example of practicing delayed gratification rather than acting on an impulse. When you crave a burger (an unhealthier food choice), but order a salad instead (a less palatable, yet much healthier food choice), you are delaying gratification you would obtain from a burger, and showing restraint by not acting on your impulse to eat a burger. Restraint and impulse control indicate maturity, emotional stability and overall better life outcomes, compared to acting impulsively and opting for immediate gratification.

Answer: The correct answer to this question is C; intoxication.

Explanation:

When a person is intoxicated they are both mentally and physically impaired. They will not be able to walk in a straight line, they may fall and stumble. They will not be able to walk long distances without issues. They lose their natural mental state and become impaired the more intoxicated they become. They may act of character and do things that will hurt someone or themselves. When a person is intoxicated, they need to get home and/or find someone to drive them to their home. If they are at home, they need to stop drinking because it could lead to alcohol poisoning.
