Answer to Question 1

One physiological need (the need for water) may not be being met. Also, to the extent that Ms. Patterson's preferential treatment may be interfering with Dari's ability to make friends, Dari may have trouble satisfying her need for relatedness.

Answer to Question 2

Mr. Mercurio appears to be focusing on mastery goals. For instance:
 He says, In my class, the most important things are to do your best and to work at improving your skills as the year progresses..
 By pointing out that other students' work has imperfections, he implies that making mistakes is a normal part of acquiring skill in art.
 He says, You can get better only if you practice and then let me give you feedback.
