The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Casey eats a lot of junk food. She knows the negative consequences of her diet but rationalizes her behavior by saying the junk food helps her deal with her anxiety. Casey is using this explanation because she is uncomfortable with the inconsistency between her actions and her beliefs and wants to reduce cognitive dissonance.
This term refers to a state that involves conflicting attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs. People generate a sense of mental distress leading to a change of attitudes and behaviors in order to reduce the discomfort and recover stability. That is what is happening to Casey and the contradictions in her behavior.

Explanation of Advantages:
Co-education has many advantages in education. It is important in many aspects, including the following:
There is more diversity in a classroom setting of co-education, providing more experiences and perspectives for the class to judge and learn from.
There are fewer buildings needed when operating under co-education because classes are not split into multiple schools, lowering the cost of maintenance of a school (electrical maintenance, custodial maintenance).
Fewer teachers and staff at a school are needed with co-education. Larger groups of students are able to learn together, in the same classroom, meaning that an educator can teach more students under co-education standards than an educator in a separate education context. This lowers the cost of pay for teachers, and each individual teacher can have a larger salary. With fewer educators, fewer interviews for positions of teachers are needed, saving a school board more time (which they can use to evaluate other important aspects).
Additionally, students of different sexes will have the same background information needed to learn at a higher level. Standards set across one co-ed school are going to be more consistent within their classes, as opposed to two different classes, comprised of separated students, and different teachers. This makes it easier to continue education, as more opportunities are open to all people.
Ultimately, there is a stronger connection and mutual respect between students of diverse backgrounds, and empathy between diverse groups is established, allowing brighter futures for humanity.
