If a student treats ability as fixed after low marks in a difficult subject, which mindset is weak?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Growth mindset
A growth mindset views ability as capable of development through effective practice, feedback, and improved strategies. Treating one low score as proof of permanent inability can reduce effort and prevent the learner from seeking better methods. A time list, task division, or material management may support study, but they are not the mindset being described. Thus, A is correct.
