question 35

Multiple Choice

Sebastian was having difficulty in his American History class, so he met with his instructor during office hours to review the material. During their meeting, the instructor had to step away for a few moments. While she was gone, Sebastian noticed a copy of the exam on her desk. His initial reaction was to take a quick look so that he could look up the answers later, but then he quickly changed his mind. He knew that peeking at the test might help him pass it, but it wouldn't mean that he had learned the material. He also realized that looking at the test might constitute cheating, which could get him a failing grade for the course and possibly even thrown out of school. He decided to ignore the test and focus on studying. It would be MOST accurate to say that Sebastian exhibited

• A) empathy.
• B) impulse control.
• C) assertiveness.
