Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Kelly stated that hostile people often make the low-risk choice because they have come to know what to expect from others in response to aggressive behavior. They do not know how others will react to their friendliness because they have rarely tried it.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: The notion that people have freedom of choice is found throughout Kelly's writings. According to the dichotomy corollary described previously, each construct has two opposing poles and for every situation we must choose the alternative that works best for us, the one that allows us to anticipate or predict the outcome of future events.
