Question

In high school, it did not seem to make a difference in how much Clive studied Spanish; he always earned poor grades. Now that Clive is in college, he is required to take Spanish again. According to the concept of learned helplessness, which of the following statements can be most expected from Clive as he starts the new Spanish class?
a. " Spanish is a difficult subject that I am very poor at."
b. " I sure hope that my Spanish professor is better than my high school Spanish teacher."
c. " Why study?" There isn't anything I can do to improve my Spanish skills."
d. "If I spend more time studying, I'm sure I will do better than in high school."
e. " I need to find a good tutor to help me learn Spanish; I can't learn it on my own."

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe that C might be the answer.

Explanation:

This seems somewhat like a trick question, but he learned that no matter how hard he studies, he will still not make good grades. If he stays by this lesson and doesn't change once he gets to college, then C would be the most logical answer.

I hope this answer is correct and I'm not the reason that you fail. Have a nice day. :)
