Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Self-determination theory specifies three basic needs namely competence, autonomy, and relatedness. It is through the satisfaction of these needs that a person can reach a state of well-being.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Extrinsic motivation involves engaging in some activity only for the sake of some external reward such as praise, a promotion or pay raise, or a higher grade. Self-determination is facilitated by a person's focus on intrinsic motivation, such as engaging in an activity solely because of the interest and challenge of the activity itself.
