Answer 1

The correct option is B. I, III, IV

 

First, we need to understand the meaning of procrastinate.  To procrastinate means to keep postponing doing something, even though it may put you in an uncomfortable position later.

Now let us examine the options listed.

• People desire success, and so do not fear success. So, it doesn’t make sense to state that people delay doing things because they are scared of succeeding.
• Being put in a press situation, with high levels of pressure is not desirable. No one enjoys it and so no one would procrastinate only to be in a difficult situation.  
• Those who are perfectionists want everything done in a precise manner. This takes time. In order to find enough time to do a task well, perfectionists often postpone the task.
• People get recognition if they do a task well, not if they don’t do it at all. So, this option is not a logical reason for procrastination.  

Putting all this information together, it is evident that the correct answer is option B. I, III, IV.
