Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: According to the dichotomy corollary, each construct has two opposing poles. For every situation one must choose the alternative that works best for themselves, the one that allows them to anticipate or predict the outcome of future events.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: All constructs are bipolar or dichotomous. Just as we note similarities among people or events, we must also account for dissimilarities if we are to anticipate future events correctly.
