Question

which situation is an example of an emotional motive? trish buys a new outfit for the first day of school. ali buys a refrigerator to store his food in. chen buys shingles to repair the roof of her house. gordon buys a coat to stay warm in winter.

Explanation:

Emotional motives are driven by feelings, desires for self - expression, or social approval. Trish buying a new outfit for the first day of school is likely to be for reasons like feeling good, making a good impression (social approval), which is an emotional motive. Ali buying a refrigerator (for food storage, a practical need), Chen buying shingles (for roof repair, practical), and Gordon buying a coat (to stay warm, practical) are driven by utilitarian or practical needs, not emotional motives.

Answer:

Trish buys a new outfit for the first day of school.
