Answer:

A). Shaping.

Explanation:

As per the given description of Marc's behavior and his mother's attitude to amend his habits exemplify that his mother is employing 'shaping' as it would establish his behavior which was previously not performed. This concept was first defined by B.F. Skinner who was a leading psychologist advocating 'behaviorism'. 'Shaping' is quite commonly employed by teachers and mothers to inculcate or <em>reinforce certain behavior in kids that would help them to perform better and reach nearer to their targets.</em> Similarly, Marc's mother is reinforcing 'successive approximations' to instill a behavioral change in him and attain the desired goal(when Marc begins to do his homework regularly). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Which statement best defines a universal law? What is the correct way to pursue happiness in life? What is the most appropriate
Ainat [17]

Answer and Explanation:

1. A universal law is one that is always in force, regardless of territory, government or time of year. This law does not change over time, it is not effective only under specific conditions, nor does it lose effectiveness over time, but it overcomes all social and environmental changes and remains effective.

2. The best way to seek happiness in life is to be a person who promotes actions that generate gratifications for your psychological system, such as promoting honest, tolerant, kind, progressive, true, honorable and egalitarian actions.

3. The number of dogs suitable for a home is proportional to the ability of the humans who live in that home to care for the dogs and meet their needs. If the owners of the house can provide this for five dogs, this is the ideal number of dogs for this house, if the owners can only raise one dog, this is the ideal number and so on.

4. The best advice that a parent can give to a child is to talk so that the child always acts rationally, think long before making any decisions, to avoid arrogance and losses and thus have a full and happy life.

5. The composition of the popsicles does not interfere with their freezing speed. This depends on the volume of the popsicles and the capacity of the freezer. For this reason, it is not correct to say that cherry popsicles freeze more slowly than orange ones.

. If you saw a boat on the horizon, would you be able to read the name of the boat? Explain.
tigry1 [53]

For an observer standing on the ground with h = 2 meters (6 ft 7 in), the horizon is at a distance of 5 kilometers (3.1 mi).

The Earth curves about 8 inches per mile. As a result, on a flat surface with your eyes 5 feet or so off the ground, the farthest edge that you can see is about 3 miles away

Humans can see from 380–740 nanometers (nm)

So, the answer is no, if you can only barely see 3 miles away, then you wouldn't be able to read the name of a boat 3.1 miles away.
