This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

McGuyver is trapped in a room with seemingly no way out. While contemplating his escape, he thinks about how part of the bed in the room

could be used to make a helicopter. This practical thought is best classified as

A. problem-focused action.

B. a cognitive analysis.

C. avoidant thinking.

D. denial.

Answer:

This practical thought is best classified as:

B. a cognitive analysis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the correct option through elimination.

Notice that this thought is not directly related to solving the situation in which McGuyver finds himself. He needs a way out of the room, and building a helicopter has nothing to do with it. We can thus eliminate the first option. This thought can also eliminate options C and D. Avoidant thinking concerns rationalizing a situation in order to find an excuse for avoiding it, while denial is the non-acceptance of a situation. Therefore, the only possible option is letter B, cognitive analysis.
