Answer:
Suzanne appears to be in the stage of B. Contemplation.
Explanation:
In 1977, the transtheoretical model of behavior change was developed. It is a result of analysis and application of several psychotherapy theories. Its purpose is to assess someone's readiness to change an unhealthy behavior, trading it for a healthier one. The stages are:
1. Precontemplation
2. Contemplation
3. Preparation
4. Action
5. Maintenance
6. Termination
<u>In the contemplation stage, the person is getting ready to change. They are able to see how their current behavior can be harmful, and consider the pros and cons of making the change. </u>However, they are not yet prepared, taking small steps in order to begin the change. That would be the preparation stage.
As we can see, Suzanne is not taking steps yet, thus she is not in the preparation stage. She has already gone past the stage of precontemplation, in which she is not ready at all and doesn't even understand how her behavior is making her unhealthy. <u>Suzanne can see the pros and cons of a change - she would feel stronger and healthier (pro) but would have to resist temptation (con). She is clearly considering change as a possibility, but is not thoroughly ready to start doing it. Therefore, she is in the contemplation stage.</u>
<u>Answer:</u>
B. David is not happy that his dad has moved them from the city to a home ten miles from town. When he finds an old, abandoned carousel deep in their woods, the idea of an adventure to learn about its history gives David hope.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Option B accurately summarizes the passage as it includes all the important events and ideas presented in it. <u>David is neither angry at his father, nor does he hate him; in fact he "didn't want to harbor ill feelings against his dad"; however, moving to the country did make him sad as he "did not share his dad's affection for the country" and "longed to be back in the city where he had grown up."</u>
Moreover, when <u>he goes exploring the land to find out why the land was so devalued, he finds an old, abandoned carousel deep in the woods, and wants to find more about its history in the town library, which gives him a sense of adventure and </u>the <u>hope</u> that there might be something for him to like in the country after all. The second part of the summary covers this half of the narrative accurately, and hence is the correct option.
