Answer to Question 1

a.

Answer to Question 2

Nicole tells Ms. Johnson that ever since first grade, it seems as if I've always missed recess, or at least part of it, every day.. When children encounter frequent failure that they don't think they can control, they are apt to attribute their failure to an internal, stable, uncontrollable quality, such as lack of intelligence. When keeping Nicole in from recess on future occasions, it would be important for her teacher to explain why she is staying ini.e., because she has gotten off task so much that she hasn't finished her assignments. Nicole is more likely to change her behavior if she attributes her failure to such an internal but unstable and controllable cause.
