Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Kelly suggested that if several people construe an experience similarly, we can conclude that their cognitive processes are similar. People from the same culture may show a resemblance in their behaviors and characteristics even though they are exposed to different individual life events.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: The fragmentation corollary states that a new construct may be compatible or consistent with an old one in a given situation, but if the situation changes, these constructs can become inconsistent. Kelly believed that within our construct system some constructs might be incompatible even though they coexist within the overall pattern.
