Alonzo, the president of his high school's senior class and honor society, has been very busy and did not study for an important

history test. Although Alonzo is very confident, he realizes that he probably will not do well on the test. He has talked himself into cheating because he believes that cheating will help him maintain his strong GPA, which he will need to be accepted by a good college. He tells his friend, "I don't usually cheat, but I really have to do it." How would you explain Alonzo's behavior?

Answer: Alonzo's behavior would be called "motivated blindness."

Explanation:

When a person has motivated blindness, they are behaving in a way they normally would not. The person is making bad decisions and not thinking of the long term consequences of their cheating.

This person, who is doing the cheating, is overlooking what he is doing wrong, to further his interests and stay on the honor society.

Speaker 1: Now that we are independent, Americans should create a government that mirrors the government of Great Britain.
Monica [59]

Answer:

A. Speaker 2

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation is known as the first written American constitution. It has its origins in times of war, also, its development was delayed since people were afraid of central authority and states demanded their lands, until it was sanctioned on March 1, 1781. These articles recognized the states' sovereignity and independency, leaving Congress as an auxiliary resource to solve certain issues, and not having the power to collect taxes or mint money. It was a weak central government, which eventually led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 that modified and elaborated new federal laws.
