In which situation has the student challenged a negative thought with reasoning?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Instead of ‘I will never succeed,’ the student says, ‘My past marks improved and I will keep practicing’
The negative thought is an absolute prediction, but option A examines it against evidence: past marks have improved and further practice is possible. This creates a more balanced, testable conclusion. B, C, and D accept broad negative assumptions without evidence and turn a difficulty or single mistake into a permanent judgment.
