She knows she will take the class, because getting her degree has been her top priority over the last four years. According to Lazarus, the importance Becca places on taking that final class, and her eagerness to take the class, suggests that Becca had performed a(n) _____

secondary appraisal.
initial assessment.
tertiary appraisal.
primary appraisal

Answer 1

Primary appraisal

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary Appraisal is the process of assessing an event that how significant it is for the person regardless if it is an opportunity or threat.

When a person performs primary appraisal, the person will analyze the event that how much relevant it is for him/her and what impact will this event have on him/her.

In the given case, for Becca getting her degree is important so to get this degree she has to take this last class. Her eagerness to take this last class shows that she is performing primary appraisal.

So, the correct answer is Primary Appraisal.
