2. Elena's friend Katie is in hot water with her parents. After seeing her mid-term grades they are convinced she is a slacker.As a last resort to motivate her to learn, they've offered her 20 for every B and 25.00 for every A on her report card. Unlike Katie Elena is an active learner. Her advice to Katie includes each of the following EXCEPT: a. "Since the best long term motivation is intrinsic find something within yourself that inspires you to learn. It can be a love of learning or a personal challenge to do better, or wanting a bright future including college and a good career. b. "Money and gifts are temporary fixes for a serious motivational problem." c. "Girl, hold out for more money! Your parents are ripping you off!" d. "This will do little to correct your slacker tendencies."

The correct answer is c. "Girl, hold out for more money! Your parents are ripping you off!"<br /><br />Explanation:<br />Option a suggests that intrinsic motivation is the best long-term motivation and encourages Katie to find something within herself that inspires her to learn. This is a valid piece of advice for motivating oneself to learn.<br /><br />Option b states that money and gifts are temporary fixes for a serious motivational problem. This is also a valid point, as relying solely on external rewards like money may not address the underlying issue of motivation.<br /><br />Option d suggests that the parents' offer of money will do little to correct Katie's slacker tendencies. This is another valid point, as relying solely on monetary incentives may not be an effective long-term solution.<br /><br />However, option c advises Katie to hold out for more money and implies that her parents are "ripping her off." This statement does not align with the other options, which emphasize the importance of intrinsic motivation and the limitations of relying solely on external rewards c is the exception among the given choices.
