Answer to Question 1

Her mistakes are these:
 She makes the erroneous assumption that moving Jason's desk away from the window will be an unpleasant consequence for him. Teachers must remember that different consequences are reinforcing and punishing for different students.
 Her threat is really only a bluff that she doesn't intend to follow through on. Teachers should never threaten consequences that would be difficult to carry out.

Answer to Question 2

b.
