Answer to Problem 1TY

Correct answer:

Irritability and adaptability better describe the temperament rather than the personality.

This information is reflected in the option “d”. Therefore, option d. is correct.

Option d. is given as “temperament”.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

Temperament is the inborn character of an individual; it reflects the behavior and emotions the individual is born with. Temperament is a mixture of characters and the way in which an individual react or behave against a particular situation Trying to adjust with a new environment or irritating with some situation or condition, is exhibited in an individual since birth.

Hence, option d. is correct.

Option a. is given as “character”.

Characters refer to the ethnic or moral behavior of an individual. The adaptability or irritability defines the temperament of an individual.

Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option b. is given as “consciousness”.

Consciousness explains about the awareness of an individual towards the incidents and the events happening in the surrounding. Being conscious or aware towards a situation or condition does not explain the adaptability or irritability of an individual. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option c. is given as “mood”.

The mood is not a permanent condition of an individual, mood changes with the events. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.

Conclusion

According to the psychologist, the child’s characteristic as adaptability or irritability describes its temperament rather than its personality.
