Eloise's history teacher lectures for hours at a time with out receiving questions from the class or giving the class a break to speak with each other about the lecture. As a result, Eloise is bored when she is in history class. Given the textbooks' explanation of boredom as it is related to motivation, which of the following is most likely to be true?
 
  a. Eloise will be motivated to learn the material on her own when she is at home.
  b. Eloise will not pay attention in class and therefore will not benefit from the instruction.
  c. Eloise will work extra hard to pay attention to the lecture in class.
  d. Eloise will loose all interest in history and will avoid all history classes in the future.

Question 2

Vance is quite surprised to hear that his friend Adam has been caught shoplifting, as he has always thought of Adam as someone who is honest, law-abiding, and respectful of others' rights and possessions. There must be a logical explanation for why Adam was seen shoplifting, Vance thinks to himself, and I won't rest until I find out what it is. Vance's motivation can best be explained using the concept of:
 
  a. cognitive dissonance
  b. state anxiety
  c. need for relatedness
  d. optimal level of arousal
