Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: C) Since Mary has a very low income and is a single parent, she is probably trying to satisfy her most basic physiological needs, such as shelter and hunger.

Answer to Question 2

E
Explanation: E) Those with negative core self-evaluations are more likely to give up when confronting difficulties. Research has shown that people who have positive core self-evaluation, who believe in their inner worth and basic competence, are more satisfied with their jobs than those with negative core self-evaluations. Not only do they see their work as more fulfilling and challenging, they are more likely to gravitate toward challenging jobs in the first place.
