Which is an example of adaptation? A. Martha loses her job for the second time in a year and decides she is not going to apply for another job.
B. Phil’s car needs a new engine, which he can’t afford. He asks his neighbor to give him a ride to work until he saves enough money for repairs.
C. Juan fails his history final exam, so he drops out of school.
D. Boyd can’t make his rent payments, so he stops answering his phone in case it is his landlord.
The correct answer is:
B. Phil’s car needs a new engine, which he can’t afford. He asks his neighbor to give him a ride to work until he saves enough money for repairs.
Explanation: Adaptation involves making adjustments or changes in response to new circumstances. In this case, Phil demonstrates adaptation by finding a temporary solution (asking a neighbor for a ride) to cope with the problem of his car being broken down. The other options reflect various responses to challenges but don’t illustrate a proactive adaptation to new situations.
