Answer:

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

The best interpretation is (c) A small amount of anxiety can help students perform better on tests.

Explanation:

• Studies show that some anxiety levels or nervousness are required to perform well in any test.
• This is due to the fact that due to anxiety a student may have fear of exams and a sense of responsibility to study harder.
• However, above optimal levels of anxiety, if it increases further, the performance reduces drastically.
• This is because the student will not be able to write the paper due to fatigue, exertion and too much fear.
• This type of graph is called a 'bell-shaped' graph.

Hence, the best interpretation is (c) A small amount of anxiety can help students perform better on tests.
