Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. An internal believes that he or she is in control of significant life outcomes. The student's remark shows that he or she is blaming the professor for the low test score.
B) Correct. An external believes that environmental factors and other people are in control of his or her performance. Here, the student's remark shows that he or she is blaming the professor for the low test score.
