Which is an example of an ulterior motive?

mozelle wanted a raise so she made sure to bring her boss gifts on every holiday.

tyler noticed someone dropped a dollar on the ground, so he took the money to the nearest lost-and-found.

tracy had an extra piece of gum, so she put it in her purse for later.

amar wanted to win an ice-skating event, so he hired a training coach.

Letter A is the correct answer.

We can say someone has an ulterior motive when this person does something that is actually motivated by a hidden reason. In this situation, Mozelle doesn't give presents to her boss because she likes him/her but because she wants to get a raise. Getting a raise is the reason (ulterior motive) behind her buying those presents every holiday.

answer; overt behavior;
