a(n) ____ is a subjective, affective state of being that we often describe as our feelings. a(n) ____ refers to a prolonged, less intense, affective state that does not occur in response to something we experience.

○ motivation; habit
○ emotion; mood
○ mood; emotion
○ habit; motivation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the definitions:

• An emotion is a subjective, affective state (feelings).
• A mood is a prolonged, less intense affective state not tied to a specific experience.

Checking options:

• "motivation; habit": Motivation is about drive, habit is a routine—incorrect.
• "emotion; mood": Matches the definitions.
• "mood; emotion": Reversed, so incorrect.
• "habit; motivation": Habit is routine, motivation is drive—incorrect.

Answer:

B. emotion; mood
