Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. An internal locus of control would likely indicate that Janet would seek to improve her position daily, rather than seeking to discover what the universe has in store for her.
B) Correct. Janet's behavior is most applicable to an external locus of control (she is seeking to discover what her future holds).
C) Incorrect. Janet's behavior is most applicable to an external locus of control (she is seeking to discover what her future holds). The question does not indicate whether Janet has a high or low tolerance for ambiguity.
