Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) We don't have to place instrumental value on everything we do to lead us to what we value as our terminal goal. In other words, instrumental goals may only be of value because they are necessary to progress toward your terminal goal which you value for itself and not for its contribution to the process.

Answer to Question 2

B
