Answer 1

According to the perspective of the looking-glass self, if Jared notices that people react favorably to his "jock" persona that he tried out in college, he will likely use that feedback to continue to behave in that similar manner.

Answer- The right option is- True.

Explanation-

The looking glass-self theory states that an individual's "self" grows out of the perception of others around them. According to this theory, an individual develops his/her concept of "self" through the judgments of others. In the above scenario, Jared notices how people react to his "jock" persona. The positive feedback he receives for putting up this persona encourages him to act like his "jock' self more often, although it is not necessarily his true self.

Answer 2- The right option is- Race.

Explanation-

Our race can be determined by physical characteristics such as the color of our skin and eyes, and bone structure.
