The counselor, knowing Super's exploration stage, asked Malorie to begin thinking realistically about her opportunities at this point. Which of the following would NOT be a question to help Malorie think realistically?
A. "Have you researched what internship, employment, or shadowing opportunities are available at Disney?"
B. "How much money will you make as an actress?"
C. "Do you have or know an acting agent?"
D. "What types of work or activities have you done thus far to help prepare you for a career as an actress?"

Answer 1

Answer:

B. "How much money will you make as an actress?"

Explanation:

Asking Malorie "how much money will you make as an actress?" will only lead her to keep thinking unrealistically. This question may lead her to believe that she will make high amounts of money as a famous Disney actress, which is contributing to an unrealistically thinking.

The other questions will make her think deeply about the reality of what she is projecting. Besides helping her through the exploration stage, which is the period where a person tries to find out where they best fit as regards occupations, what she or he likes or dislikes, and the abilities that have.
