Question 2
Felipe has an important job interview in the morning. As he lays awake the night before, he thinks about the many concerns that are stressing him out: "No one in my family has ever had an opportunity like this . . . we basically live in poverty. It's been tough for Dad to keep a job after his heart attacks; I know I've got those genes too, and it's only a matter of time before some physical illness cuts my career short. What does it matter? I'm not smart enough to do this job in the first place. I guess I've got no choice but to get there early, look over my notes, shake hands confidently, and speak calmly." Which of Felipe's concerns represents a
