Answer 1

:Answer: Steven is Acting Rationally,

Jacklyn is Acting Irrationally, Brian is acting irrational

For irrational behaviours, choices are made without thinking thoroughly and do not benefit the individual.

Here, Steven acted RATIONAL by leaving the restaurant because the meal according to me does not taste well, he would rather leave than manage what is detrimental to him.

Jacklyn acted lRRATIONAL because she spends more than what she can, in the long run, this will not be beneficial to her.

Brian also acts IRRATIONAL because he reduces to do his assignment at the right time, knowing fully well the cons of behaving like this will not be beneficial to him.
