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.

The correct answer is: A. Dramatic irony. 

Negative connotation refers to a meaning that is implied and is not the literal meaning of the word or phrase. Metaphor is an implied comparison between two things that are not related. Personification on the other hand refers to the association of a nature or human characteristics to something that is nonhuman.

Ok so multiply 34.87 times 2, which is 71.74. Now subtract 56.34 from 71.74 which is 15.4 You'd have to cut off 15.4 to get to 56.34.
