Question 12 • LHS English 10

Which scenario is an example of intrinsic motivation?

Answer
A
Yannick always studies until midnight because good grades make him happy.
B
Kimi fixed Gordon’s tablet in exchange for a copy of his notes from math class.
C
Evan noticed the flashing lights in his rearview mirror and pulled over to the curb.
D
Marileta bought a $20 gift card for Rick after drawing his name in the office holiday party.

Explanation

Intrinsic motivation means doing something because the activity or its outcome is personally satisfying, rather than for an external reward. Yannick studies because earning good grades makes him happy, so choice A shows intrinsic motivation. Kimi’s notes are an exchange, while Evan and Marileta are responding to external circumstances or expectations.
