Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Gaming can discourage noncompetitive students from playing. Winning and losing can become the overriding purpose of the experience. Playing a game can take the focus away from the learning of academic material. Teachers must carefully choose game play that avoids these potential negative impacts.
