Answer:    A. More positive

Explanation:  Brendan did not like psychology classes because of his conflicting and contradictory views on the subject. According to the theory of cognitive dissonance, when there is a lack of harmony regarding different, conflicting opinions, ideas and beliefs about a phenomenon or event, then one must find the consistency of those opinion, ideas and beliefs. By achieving consistency of opinion and beliefs, a view of a particular phenomenon or event changes and becomes more positive.
