Answer:

 big fish in a little pond

Explanation:

The options for this question are missing. The options are:

small town-small dreams

big fish in a little pond

coming of age

fresh start

In sociology and psychology, the "big-fish in a little pond effect" refers to the fact that individuals compare themselves to their own peers. Therefore, <u>when high capable individuals are among people who are equally capable and smart they feel less capable than when these same capable individuals are placed with people who are less capable </u>and in this second situation they have a higher self-concept. In other words, it is better to be a big fish in a little pond (you'd compare yourself with other "little fish") than to be a big fish in a big pond where all the rests of your peers are "big fish".

In this example, April moved from an academically focused high school with high-achievers classmates, to a new school who is not really focused as much in academics and she is among the best in her class and feels great about this achievement. We can see that i<u>n her previous schools she was a "big fish in a big pond" and now she is a "big fish in a little pond" and her self concept has increased because of this. </u>Therefore, this illustrates the big fish in a little pond effect.

Answer:

A. overcome functional fixedness.

Explanation:

In psychology, the term functional fixedness refers to a cognitive bias by which the person uses an object only in the way it is usually used and doesn't find new creative forms to use it (and therefore the person is fixed in one function of the object).

In this example, Monique used a shredder to shred paper (traditional form of using it), <u>when she runs out of styrofoam she remembers the junk mail confetti from the shredder and she uses it as packing material.</u> We can see that <u>she is finding new creative forms to use this confetti instead of just leaving there,</u> therefore, we can say that she has overcome functional fixedness.
