Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This goal statement is broader and more inclusive than the other statements and thus is considered a long-term goal. The other statements are short-term goals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Procrastinating high-priority activities leads to increased tension and concern over possible failure. Assuming power over life, controlling anxiety, and deriving a sense of true accomplishment are unlikely outcomes of this behavior.
