A student feels afraid of a difficult task but divides it into small parts and starts. This is an example of which strategy?

Correct answer: Task division and self-controlled start

Breaking a large task into smaller steps makes the work more manageable and clarifies the next action. Starting one step instead of waiting for fear to disappear reduces procrastination and builds momentum. The student has not avoided the task, accepted defeat, or abandoned the goal; the behaviour shows planning, self-control, and a practical way to handle difficulty.
