Answer:

The correct answer is:

using a pair of pliers as a paperweight. (a.)

Explanation:

Functional fixedness as the name implies, refer to theories that promote the use of an object in a traditional sense, rejecting innovative and circumstantial use of such objects. For example, using a knife to drive screws defiles the theory of functional fixedness. A knife is traditionally designed and used for cutting, and functional fixedness adopts its use for cutting and piercing alone. Functional fixedness originated in Gestalt psychology, a psychology movement which promotes holistic processing.

Functional fixedness often occurs naturally as one grows and is influenced by their immediate culture. An experiment to support this fact was carried out on 5 and 7 year olds, and it was discovered that the 5 year olds had more likelihood to use any opject at their disposal to achieve an immediate task at hand, while the 7 year olds, having been culturized long enough had a more object specific approach.

The same with ingenuity, a high degree of ingenuity could exist where individual freedom is present in the selection of employment, but it is not a prerequisite or a definite outcome.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

А . They take on very little risk in starting a business due to government control.

Explanation:

<u>Entrepreneurs are people who start individual businesses based on the existing economy, with the idea to gain profit. </u>These businesses are usually innovative and creative, and the entrepreneurs are deciding themselves on the resources, projects, processes, and products of the business.

The businesses that entrepreneurs take on <u>are not government-supported. </u><u>They usually fund the project themselves (or crowdfunding in some instances), which means they </u><u>take quite a bit of risk</u><u>. </u>At the start of business development, there is no guarantee the business will take on and succeed, and that they will end up making a profit, <u>so there is always great risk entrepreneurs take when investing money in starting the new work.</u>
