b. aggressive and oppositional
c. undermotivated
d. ADHD

Option c. undermotivated

Explanation:

Undermotivated actually means less or not sufficiently motivated.

Children who are undermotivated maybe as a result of upbringing, environmental factors, social and economic factors may be undermotivated i.e less motivated to engage in their book work and if this continues, they may have difficulty in excelling in their chosen careers.

Employing guided fantasy, positive affirmations, and employing visualizations would be of great help to undermotivated children in order for them to be motivated to becoming the best in their chosen careers. Further explanation is given below:

1. Guided fantasy simply means guiding the child to imagine and think big.! economic, social and environmental challenges not withstanding. This help the child to imagine great things and think of becoming the best as he/she engaged in a chosen career.

2. Positive affirmations means speaking good concerning the child to their hearings. For example, one can tell the child you can do it better, you can be the best in mathematics because God made you the best or you could say to the child you can be the best neurosurgeon because you are smarter than the rest people.

3. Employing visualizations simply means using pictures and video clips to motivate the child. A play showing how great men and women made it in life will go a long way to motivate the child that he/she can become great and even become greater if they focus on their career and give it their best shot!

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,

the telephone is the answer
