question 4 of 10
pardis bought opening night tickets to a movie she had been excited about seeing for a long time. midway through the movie, she realizes its bad and wishes she had stayed home. which question should pardis have asked herself before spending the money on the ticket?

a. am i purchasing on a whim?
b. am i overspending?
c. am i buying for the right reason?
d. are my expectations too high?

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "Purchasing on a whim" implies impulse buying, but Pardis was excited for long, not impulsive. Eliminate A.
• Option B: "Overspending" relates to budget limits, but the issue is about the movie's quality vs her reason to buy, not cost. Eliminate B.
• Option C: "Buying for the right reason" – Pardis bought because she was excited, but the movie was bad. If she asked if the reason (excitement) justified buying, she might have reconsidered. This fits.
• Option D: "Expectations too high" – The problem is the movie is bad, not her expectations. The core is the reason for buying, not expectations. Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. Am I buying for the right reason?
