    In class, it is ok to sit down at your desk and text on the phone when the teacher is talking, as long as your not bothering others.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because it is not okay to sit down at your desk and text on the phone when the teacher is talking, even if you are not bothering others. It is important to pay attention and show respect to the teacher by actively listening and participating in class activities. Texting during class can be disruptive and can hinder your own learning as well as the learning of others.

    You have a big project, and you have a month in advance to complete it when you should start it?

    • Start researching ideas and do a little bit of the project each day until you finish.

    • A week before its due.

    • Two weeks before its due.

    • Print and copy a project from the internet.

    Correct Answer
    A. Start researching ideas and do a little bit of the project each day until you finish.
    Explanation
    Starting the project a month in advance allows for ample time to plan, research, and execute the project effectively. By researching ideas and working on the project incrementally each day, it ensures that the workload is evenly distributed and reduces the chances of feeling overwhelmed or rushing at the last minute. This approach promotes better time management and allows for any unexpected challenges or revisions to be addressed in a timely manner. Printing and copying a project from the internet is not a recommended approach as it lacks originality, creativity, and the opportunity to learn and develop new skills.

    Explanation
    In situations where two students are about to get into a fight, it is important to prioritize their safety and well-being. Getting an adult involved is the responsible and appropriate action to take.

By involving an adult, the potential for escalation and harm can be minimized, ensuring a safe environment for everyone involved.

    Which of the following cognitive biases is LEAST likely to significantly influence decision-making in a high-stress survival situation?

    • Confirmation bias 

    • IKEA effect

    Correct Answer
    A. IKEA effect
    Explanation
    In high-stress survival situations, immediate threats and the need for quick action often override the IKEA effect, which refers to the tendency to overvalue things we've built or created ourselves. While the other options, anchoring bias, availability heuristic, and confirmation bias, can significantly impair judgment and lead to poor choices under pressure, the IKEA effect is less likely to be a major factor in such scenarios.

    Kevin's friends are at home, and they are going to throw a parent while his parents are out of town. What should you do?

    • Call Kevin up and ask, "what should I bring?"

    • Talk to Kevin and explain why it is a bad idea.

    • Talk to Kevin and explain the consequences, and that you are still his friend, but you are going to have to tell his parents if he does not stop the party.

    • Just pretend you know nothing, and not go to the party.

    Correct Answer
    A. Talk to Kevin and explain the consequences, and that you are still his friend, but you are going to have to tell his parents if he does not stop the party.
    Explanation
    In this situation, it is important to address the potential consequences of Kevin's actions. By talking to Kevin and explaining the consequences, you are showing concern for his well-being and also emphasizing the importance of responsible behavior. Additionally, by mentioning that you are still his friend, you are reassuring him that your intentions are not to betray him, but rather to ensure that everyone involved makes the right choices. Threatening to tell his parents if he doesn't stop the party is a way to hold him accountable for his actions while giving him a chance to rectify the situation.

    Basketball team tryouts are scheduled for August 30. What should you do?

    • Start practicing two to three days a week until tryouts.

    • Practice every day until you think you are the best.

    • Wait a week a two before tryouts to start practicing.

    • Start practice right away.

    Correct Answer
    A. Start practicing two to three days a week until tryouts.
    Explanation
    To increase your chances of performing well in the basketball team tryouts, it is recommended to start practicing two to three days a week until tryouts. This allows you to gradually improve your skills and fitness level without overexerting yourself. Practicing every day may lead to burnout and potential injuries, while waiting a week or two before tryouts may not provide enough time to adequately prepare. Starting practice right away ensures that you have sufficient time to work on your game and be ready for the tryouts.
