Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The secure choice, which is similar to past choices, further defines and limits our construct system by repeating experiences and events, whereas the more adventurous choice extends our construct system by encompassing new experiences and events.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: One must choose between the low-risk, minimal-reward secure option and the high-risk, high-reward adventurous option. The first has a high predictive efficiency, the second a lower predictive efficiency.
