Answer:

- Any behavior that is accidentally reinforced is more likely to be repeated.

Explanation:

Superstitious behavior could be described as <u>'a behavior that is reinforced coincidentally due to temporal contiguity/closeness between an independent behavior and the distribution of reinforcer.'</u> Skinner, the famous psychologist, showed this through his experiment in which the 'rats were susceptible to human behavior as they knew that arriving at that place would assist them in getting the food'(however, not being related directly). Such behavior exemplifies the superstitious behavior(that has been reinforced on rats accidentally) which makes them behave in a certain way to get the desired results(food).

The rhyme scheme in the poem 'Jabberwocky' alternates between stanzas what is the two stanza rhyme scheme in this passage from j
Ksivusya [100]
I believe there is a mistake in your choices, because I don't see the correct choice here. The correct answer should be ABAB ABCB.
This is because in the first stanza, the first line A (son) rhymes with the third line A (shun), and the second line B (catch) rhymes with the fourth line B (Bandersnatch) - which makes the first stanza ABAB. 
In the second stanza, the first line A doesn't rhyme with anything (hand), the second line B (sought) rhymes with the fourth line B (thought), and the third line C doesn't rhyme with anything - which makes the second stanza ABCB.
