John, who has been playing golf for only two years, is not very good at it. one day, when he was playing alone, the foursome in front of him told him to play through. all four of them watched him tee off. according to social facilitation research, what type of performance would you expect from john?
a. he will not perform well due to increased arousal. b. he will make his normal tee shot. c. he will outperform his normal tee shot. d. he will not be affected by others observing his play.

A). He will not perform well due to increased arousal.

Explanation:

Arousal is described as the physiological state of being attentive, wake, or reactive to stimuli that result in increased heart rate and blood pressure along with the readiness or activeness to respond.

As per the given question, 'John's would not be to perform well due to the increased arousal' as he would be in an extreme state of sensory alertness with the elevated heartbeats and blood pressure that would burden him to perform well and make him nervous. This would mar him from focusing on the sport as his entire conscious sense is devoted to 'being alert'. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
