Question

In all of my imaginings, I was filled with a sense that I would soon become perfect. My mother and father would adore me. I would be beyond reproach. I would never feel the need to sulk for anything.

Which detail from the passage demonstrates an extrinsic motivation?

Answer 1

If it's extrinsic motivation, then it's probably the 2nd sentence. "My mother and father would adore me," because they're searching for praise or approval.

Extrinsic motivation def: A motivation to participate in an activity based on meeting an external goal, garnering praise and approval, winning a competition, or receiving an award or payment.
