Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Kelly did not accept the notion of determinism and held that we need no push from internal drives or needs because we are motivated by the fact of being alive. He saw no reason to invoke any other explanation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Kelly's personality theory presents an optimistic, even flattering, image of human nature
(Kelly, 1969). He treated people as rational beings capable of forming a framework of constructs through which to view the world. He believed we are the authors, not the victims, of our destiny.
