Question

Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows. There are two rival pet stores located across the street from each other. One day, the power goes out. The pet store owners discover that the power will not be restored for many days. Without power, the fish in the fish tanks at each store will die. Although either individual could afford to purchase a generator individually, they agree to split the cost of a generator because they love fish more than they dislike each other. Once the generator is connected, their stores have the power restored and the fish are saved. Is this an example of a superordinate goal? Why or why not? Choose the most accurate answer. A. It is a superordinate goal because both pet store owners helped with the task. B. It is a superordinate goal because both pet store owners wanted to accomplish the goal. C. It is not a superordinate goal because only one pet store owner was interested in completing the goal. D. It is not a superordinate goal because it did not require both pet store owners to accomplish. Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D
