Question 2

Mr. Varol, a middle school teacher, doesn't quite know what to make of Jacob, one of his high-achieving students.

The behavior that Jacob exhibits under these conditions most likely reflects
 
  a. a flow state.
  b. a learning disability.
  c. a behavior disorder.
  d. poor classroom management by Mr. Varol.
