Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Self-serving attributions involve making external attributions (e.g., bad luck, task difficulty) for our own failure and internal attributions (e.g., ability) for our own success. People make self-serving attributions to maintain self-esteem whenever possible, even if that means putting a slightly different spin on reality. Self-serving attributions also serve a self-presentational function: we can convince others that we failed through no fault of our own. And finally, sometimes actors have access to information that observers don't, and may make what appear to be self-serving attributions.
