Question

Fabiana is beginning to realize that so-called "surprise quizzes" in her math class really aren't too much of a surprise at all, since they tend to occur every week. Accordingly, she accepts that fact and regularly reviews the course material. This example BEST illustrates that ________.

a. there can be a mismatch between perceived control and the preferred level of control
b. perceiving a lack of control typically produces stress
c. events beyond our control can still be predictable
d. coping is a whimsical process occurs

Answer 1

events beyond our control can still be predictable

Step-by-step explanation:

This illustrates the possibility that certain events that are not readily in our control can still be predicted and prepared for. In other words such events somewhat have a pattern that can be reproduced since they occur in uniform periods of time. This is exemplified by the students ability to predict the occurrences of the "surprise quiz". This could also be illustrated by the weather which albeit not exactly within our control but to some extent can be predicted since it follows a pattern in its occurrences.
