Before things like mountains were typically boundaries since they were a pain in the butt to cross. But with modern planes, and depending on the mountian, cars, mountains aren't as big a pain anymore. Deserts might have also been a boundary before. Today you turn on the AC and drive straight across it. At least for technologically advanced western countries, there really isn't any geographic feature we can't easily get around.

Question 1: The answer is A.
Tumo was extrinsically motivated to go back to college part-time because he knew there was a real chance that the plant where he worked would shut down and move its operations out-of-state. But at the same time, he was also intrinsically motivated because he saw this as an oportunity to fulfill his dream of becoming a veterinarian.
Question 2: The answer is A.
Tumo exhibits a Growth mindset. Rather than believing his qualities are set and looking for a job in a similar plant, he is certain that his intelligence can grow. Because of this, he strives to improve himself.
Question 3: The answer is C.
By isolating himself, Tumo would not be building resilience, on the contrary, he would be allowing the situation to get the best of him. On the other hand, if he were to maintain a positive stance, take actions before getting fired or see this as an opportunity, Tumo would be developing resilience and getting himself ready for the future that awaits him.
