Answer:

The answer is reaction formation.

Explanation:

Reaction formation is a defense mechanism is which a person exhibits a behaviour that is <u>radically opposite</u> from what he really feels. In the example, Felix shows excessive dislike to hide his true feelings about Rita.

This mechanism is believed to occur because either people are afraid of being discovered, thus negatively affecting their lives; or because they perceive their own feelings as unacceptable and are trying to convince themselves to change.

Explain how social thinkers misapplied Charles Darwin's ideas to justify massive disparities in wealth and power and to deny gov
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Social thinkers who misapplied Darwin's idea believed industrial corporations to be much more superior and hence should not have restricted its actions using laws that provided assistance to the poor people or those that regulate working conditions. These set of people believed that poor people actually made themselves so because they lack the character to be rich, stating that the poor always depended on the government to provide for them rather than practicing personal economics. This resulted to the government spending time to know the difference in poor people who deserves help and those who don't, rather than helping the poor in general.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

In 1837, when Samuel Morse had an idea of making electric telegraph worked, he faced with a challenge to push forward the signal across long distance. They knew that sending legible signal across the continent would be difficult. So, Morse attached a relay to his device that will work like a relay horse, sending forward the signal by taking message from the exhausted partner and push it with renewed vigor.
