Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: A permeable construct is one that allows new elements to penetrate or be admitted to the range of convenience. Such a construct is open to new events and experiences and is capable of being revised or extended by them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: If we never have any new experiences, then our construct system would never have to change. But for most of us, life involves meeting new people and coping with new challenges.
