Question 17 • English II CR

Which scenario is an example of extrinsic motivation?

Answer
A
Kenji’s love of animals led him to volunteer at the wildlife rescue organization every weekend.
B
After she cheated on the exam, Crystal’s guilt finally drove her to confess to her teacher.
C
When the temperature suddenly dropped, Lacey ran into a heated shop to warm up.
D
The doorbell rang, but Manny didn’t answer; he felt too exhausted for visitors.

Explanation

Extrinsic motivation comes from an outside consequence or circumstance rather than enjoyment or a personal value. Lacey runs into the shop to escape the cold and get warm, so her behavior is prompted by the external temperature. Kenji’s volunteering comes from his love of animals, which is intrinsic motivation.
