Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

b. The omission bias promotes decision avoidance by leading people to prefer the choice that involves no action.
c. People will also avoid making choices if they fear the choice may cause future regret. Decision avoidance, in this sense, is about avoiding potential regret in the future. In this sense, people may struggle to make a decision because it is unclear which option is truly the best.
d. People may also avoid making decisions if they feel there are not enough options available. They may wish to hold out for future other options to appear.
e. People may also avoid making decisions if they feel there are so many options that the choice is too difficult to make.
