ANSWER:

A)WHY THE CONCLUSION IS CORRECT:

  • It would be a person's intrinsic trait to behave or respond to a situation in a particular way
  • The person could be low in adaptability and thus has the same behavioral responses across situation.
  • The person is true to his character and is not dishonest with himself/herself.
  • Example: A person's intrinsic trait is to be honest or punctual, so he would choose this behaviour in every situation even if it demands him to be a bit diplomatic. He would be punctual or an early bird to a party which doesn't really require punctuality.
  • Thus these instaces show that a person's specific behaviour is consistent across all situations.

B)WHY THE CONCLUSION IS FALSE:

  • It is where the person is highly adaptive to his surroundings and knows how to aptly use his/her resources according to the situation present.
  • The person is not true to his/her intrinsic traits and allows himself to mould according to the situation.
  • For example: A person's intrinsic trait is to be honest but yet when a situation arises that needs him to be diplomatic he can easily mould it and be dishonest for that moment and doesn't feel guilty about it because he knows that the situation demanded for him to be so. Or if a person has a high emotional quotient he would know how to behave under stressful conditions and how to use his emotions aptly, thus would adapt to his situations easily
  • Hence, in such instances the above conclusion is untrue.
