LR Question 7 Explanation
QUESTION TEXT: Although most people know what their bad habits are
QUESTION TYPE: Most Strongly Supported
FACTS: People want to get rid of bad habits.
The pain of ending a bad habit is immediate.
The benefit of ending a bad habit is hard to imagine because it is remote.
ANALYSIS: The question stem talks about those who are successful at ending bad habits. They would have to be able to either:
Ignore or not notice the pain of ending a habit, or
Be able to clearly and vividly see the benefit in the present.
___________
- CORRECT. This matches. If you can visualize future benefit in the present, it will be easier to end the bad habit.
- The present pain comes from ending the habit. So visualizing more pain in the future extends the pain associated with ending the habit. That’s bad.
- Past behavior modification isn’t mentioned as a factor.
- Awareness of behavior isn’t mentioned as a factor. Only visualization of pain and benefit are mentioned.
- This seems relevant, but this isn’t mentioned as a factor, so we can’t choose this answer. It’s not supported by the stimulus.
