If a student treats difficulty not as a limit of ability but as a signal for practice, which mindset is shown?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Growth mindset
A growth mindset treats ability as developable through effective practice, feedback, and suitable strategies. Difficulty is interpreted as information about what needs to be learned, not as proof of permanent inability. A fixed or fatalistic mindset treats ability or outcomes as unchangeable, while procrastination is delay rather than a belief about learning.
