Answer to Question 1

One factor that has a detrimental effect on one's sense of industry is competition for a limited number of rewards. Grading on the curve limits the number of top grades available regardless of the number of students who perform well. This practice also assures a certain number of top grades even when all performances are low. These conditions may contribute to feelings of inadequacy and inferiority among students.

Answer to Question 2

D
