Assume that Joyce's physiological and safety needs are met, but her other needs are not met. According to Maslow's need hierarch
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Joyce is most likely to be motivated by her love/belonging needs.

Explanation:

According to psychologist Abraham Maslow, people are motivated by their needs. Those needs have a certain hierarchy, the most basic (even primitive) ones being fulfilled before the most developed ones. They follow the sequence below:

1. physiological;

2. safety;

3. love/belonging;

4. esteem;

5. self-actualization.

Therefore, only when our physiological needs are satisfied (breathing, eating, drinking water, etc.) is that we are driven by our need for safety. <u>When both, our physiological needs and safety needs, are met, we are motivated by our love/belonging needs. That is the current need that motivates Joyce, since the previous two have been met.</u> Once she feels loved (by family/friends), once she has a sense of belonging, she will be motivated by her needs of esteem, and so on.

Answer:

A). Another argument parents often make is that children spend too much time on social media.

Explanation:

Wordiness is characterized as the grammatical error in which the writer employs too many words. This clutters the meaning of the sentence and affects its clarity and impact that it is supposed to create. It misleads the reader and confuses them.

As per the question, the first option most aptly removes the wordiness of the given sentence and conveys the key idea of the actual paragraph more clearly and specifically. Thus, the writer must use a precise vocabulary that helps in conveying the intended idea in a simple, clear, and direct manner that is easy to be understood. Hence, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
