last week, a major construction project began on brandon’s normal route to work. after two days of getting angry and being late to work, brandon found a new way to go which was slightly longer, but faster. which of the following processes did brandon engage in? multiple choice extinction punishment positive reinforcement intermittent reinforcement negative reinforcement

Explanation:

Brandon changed his route to avoid the negative consequences (being angry and late) of the construction - this is negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement involves the removal of an aversive stimulus (the construction - related delays and frustration) to increase a behavior (taking the new route).
