Question

You stayed up all night cramming for this examination and didn’t do as well as you had hoped. "If only I had started studying sooner and gotten a good night’s rest, I’d have done much better," you think to yourself. You have just engaged in __________.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. I love taking tests

Explanation:

In the English language, the indicative mood refers to the grammatical mood that explains or indicates reality, this includes facts, affirmations and also opinions. Additionally, this mood differs from other moods because it focuses on assertions and reality rather than possibilities and hypothetical situations (subjunctive mood) or commands and requests (imperative mood). This means, from the options given the one that is in indicative mood is "I love taking tests" as this is an assertion that expresses an opinion and therefore is linked to reality or facts.

Answer 2

You have just engaged in counterfactual thinking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Counterfactual thinking is the human tendency to imagine possible outcomes for something that has already happened and which cannot be changed. It is counterfactual because it is different from what has already happened, it is "counter to facts"

In this case, you have engaged in this type of thinking since you are imagining and saying to yourself that you should've studied sooner in order to do better which is counterfactual to what actually occurred.
