Question

How does this passage provide an example of an intrinsic motivation?

It demonstrates the mother’s ambition.
It demonstrates that the mother’s main concern is her family.
It demonstrates that the mother doesn’t care what others think.
It demonstrates the mother’s worry about how other people view her.

Answer 1

"It demonstrates that the mother’s main concern is her family."

Explanation: intrinsic motivation comes from internal values or personal satisfaction. The passage shows she acts out of love/commitment to her family (an internal reason), not to gain approval or avoid judgment from others. The other choices refer to external concerns (reputation) or traits (ambition) that are less clearly internal motivations in this context.
