Answer:

A. self-handicapping

Explanation:

In psychology, the term self-handicap refers to an strategy that people use in order to enhance the opportunity to attribute failure to external situations and not take responsibility for it. This strategy is used in order to protect our self-esteem (since we can attribute failure to external factors and not to our own abilities).

In this example, before an exam Marc tells you that he's tired because he partied the night before. We can see that, <u>by saying this, if he gets a bad grade, he can attribute it to the fact that he was tired because of the party </u>(which would be an external situation and therefore he won't attribute it to his lack of knowledge which would be an internal factor). Therefore, Marc is engaging in self-handicapping.

How Is your Community like the human body?
ipn [44]

Answer: My community is like the human body because everyone involved helps to keep the community running. Just like a human body, a human body is compiled of many different parts in order to keep it functioning and well.

Explanation:

The human body and communities are very similar because they both work together in order to keep something functioning. Think of it like this, a community would not be a community without people trying to better it and aid. Same goes for the human body. You wouldn't be alive without all of the functions in your body working to keep you alive.

Hope this helps!
