Answer 1

I think it would be A maybe sorry if wrong

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Openness

Step-by-step explanation:

According to psychologists Mccrae and Costa, there are five factors or traits that determine the personality of individuals, these factors include openness, extraversion, neuroticism, and agreeableness. In the case of openness, this occurs as individuals are willing and happy to try new experiences, this implies they do not resist changes or new things but have a positive attitude towards them which is related to creativity. This is the factor Travis is showing because even though he has never eaten sushi he is excited about this new experience and has a positive attitude instead of resisting it.
