Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Our choices are made in terms of how well they allow us to anticipate or predict events, not necessarily in terms of what is best for us. And it is Kelly's contention that each of us, in the best scientific tradition, desires to predict the future with the highest possible degree of certainty.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The popular tendency to opt for the secure, low-risk alternative may explain why some people persist in behaving in an unrewarding way. The potential rewards for changing one's behavior may be greater but so is the uncertainty.
