Hey there!

Egocentric refers to being self conscious and only thinking about oneself without caring about others. From the given options, 'B. Leaving the copy machine paper tray empty when you are done with your copies' is an example of being egocentric because here, we don't put in paper which if we had put in would have made work easier for the next person who uses the copy machine. All the other options show people caring about others.

Hope it helps ya!

  • The answer will be Option B. Leaving the copy machine paper tray empty when you are done with your copies.
  • Okay, so egocentric means to be self-centred or to think about oneself only. In option B. the person keeps the paper tray empty without thinking about the other person or how he'll / she'll be able to access the copy machine without the availability of paper. Here, the person only thinks about himself / herself.
  • In the other options given, the person looks after other people as well. So, they aren't examples of being egocentric.
  • Hence, option B. is the right answer.
