Question

Receiving an electrical shock when you forget to turn off the power before working on an electrical socket is an example of a negative punishment. T/F

Answer 1

The answer is false because receiving an electrical shock is not an example of a negative punishment if you forget to turn off the power.

Answer 2

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

It is possible that someone might forget to switch off the electrical socket and as a result, the person will accidentally receive an electrical shock.

Thus, we cannot say that electrical socket was left switched on to punish somebody.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement receiving an electrical shock when you forget to turn off the power before working on an electrical socket is an example of a negative punishment, is false.
