One of the things that Lin has learned by watching her mentor is that not all papers are accepted for publication immediately. In fact, Lin has seen that some of her mentor's articles are accepted for publication on the first try, some must go through a difficult revise and resubmit procedure before being accepted and some receive an outright rejection from a particular journal. However, what Lin has also seen is that even if her mentor's articles are not accepted on the first try, her mentor persists until the paper is eventually accepted- at the first journal tried or another journal.
It would appear that Lin's mentor has served as a good __________ for Lin.
a. apprentice model
b. training model
c. coping model
d. instructor model
