Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

In compensatory rivalry, the comparison group knows what the program group is getting and develops a competitive attitude with the program group. The participants in the comparison group might see the program the other group is getting and feel jealous. This could lead them to compete with the program group just to show how well they can do. Sometimes, in contexts like these, the participants are even encouraged by well-meaning administrators to compete with each other. (Although this might make organizational sense as a motivation for the participants in both groups to work harder, it works against the ability of researchers to see the effects of their program.) If the rivalry between groups affects posttest performance, it could make it more difficult to detect the effects of the program. As with diffusion and imitation, this threat generally equalizes the posttest performance across groups, increasing the chance that you won't see a program effect, even if the program is effective.
