Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Ego depletion is when you are in a state of exhausted self-control. An example might be when you are dieting. Dieters may be successful at resisting high-calorie treats all day, but in the evening want to eat dessert with their families and find it harder to resist temptation after doing so all day.
