Answer:
A). Shaping.
Explanation:
As per the given description of Marc's behavior and his mother's attitude to amend his habits exemplify that his mother is employing 'shaping' as it would establish his behavior which was previously not performed. This concept was first defined by B.F. Skinner who was a leading psychologist advocating 'behaviorism'. 'Shaping' is quite commonly employed by teachers and mothers to inculcate or <em>reinforce certain behavior in kids that would help them to perform better and reach nearer to their targets.</em> Similarly, Marc's mother is reinforcing 'successive approximations' to instill a behavioral change in him and attain the desired goal(when Marc begins to do his homework regularly). Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Jonas gives a speech, and the industry leaders change their minds.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The most contrived ending to the above-mentioned story can be that-
“Jonas gives a speech, and the industry leaders change their minds”
The above statement is counted as most contrived amongst the other available statement because It is highly unlikely for industry leaders to get pacified by Jonas advocacy for minimalistic living.
These industry leaders have their core interest and stakes at the challenge and it is highly possible that they won't leave any stone unturned in defaming Jonas as fraud and scamster.
