Answer to Question 1

A
Individuals who have an external locus of control believe in fate, luck, and chance. They also tend to rely more upon external factors such as fate and luck than on their own internal abilities to accomplish tasks, meet goals, or control their environment.

Answer to Question 2

B
An internal locus of control is demonstrated by a person relying upon their own abilities and personal initiative to take action and not requiring assistance in decision making. Therefore, they may rely more upon internal abilities and skills than external forces such as fate, luck, or chance.
