Heriberto hears that there is bad traffic on his route to work, but he takes that same route anyway hoping that he won't get stuck. He gets frustrated when he is in standstill traffic shortly after leaving his home and arrives at work 35 minutes late. Heriberto's use of the same route demonstrates . Group of answer choices:

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Heriberto hears that there is bad traffic on his route to work, but he takes that same route anyway hoping that he won't get stuck. He gets frustrated when he is in standstill traffic shortly after leaving his home and arrives at work 35 minutes late. Heriberto's use of the same route demonstrates .

A) functional fixedness

B) the representativeness heuristic  

C) a mental set

D) salience of surface characteristics

The best answer seems to be letter C) a mental set.

Explanation:

We can reach the conclusion that letter C is the best option through elimination.

Functional fixedness means a person is unable to see another use for an object other than its traditional use. That is not the case described in the question.

The representativeness heuristic refers to a mental shortcut we take while making judgments. We assess the likelihood of something happening based on the prototype existent in our minds. Not the case here.

Mental set refers to the inability to generate new alternatives for the same problem or situation. The person is stuck in their old ways, so to speak. That is precisely the problem with Heriberto. Even though he has received intelligence about the bad traffic, he is unable of coming up with alternative routes, sticking to the only one he knows.

Salience of surfaces refers to finding surface similarities between problems and solving them equally for that reason. Not the case described.

1) During the Meiji period, Japan adopted a constitution and a parliamentary system, instituted universal education, built railroads and installed telegraph lines, and established strong army and navy forces.

2)The samurai lost their class privileges when the government declared all classes to be equal. By 1876 the government banned the wearing of the samurai's swords; the former samurai cut off their topknots in favor of Western-style haircuts and took up jobs in business and the professions.

3)The military history of Japan chronicles a vast time period over three millennia from the Jōmon 1000 BCE into the modern-day. It is characterized by a long period of clan warfare until the 12th century CE. This was followed by feudal wars that culminated in military governments known as the Shogunate. Japanese history is distinguished by that the military class with the Shōgun ruled Japan for 676 years from 1192 until 1868 CE. The Shōgun and samurai warriors were near the apex of the Japanese social structure. Only the aristocratic nobility was nominally above them. The sakoku policy closed Japan from foreigners for 212 years from 1641 to 1853. Feudal militarism transitioned to imperialism in the 19th century after the arrival of Admiral Perry and the elevation of Emperor Meiji. Japan was influenced by western colonial powers and Western imperialism in Asia. This led to Japanese colonialism and rampant imperialism until Japan's defeat in World War II. The 1947 Constitution prohibits Japan's ability to offensively use war against other nations. This led to the Japan Self-Defense Forces. The U.S.-Japan alliance requires the United States to protect Japan and to conduct offensive duties. In 2015, the Constitution was reinterpreted to allow collective self-defense of its allies. Thus Japan has a long military tradition with extensive militarism. Today, Japan has the 4th most-powerful military in the world.
