Question 28: Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence in paragraph 2: “The person being observed need not perform, explain, or intend anything.”?

A. Were a model to lack a conscious intention or a formal demonstration, their capacity to exert a silent influence would be effectively nullified.

B. So irrelevant are conscious intent and outward clarification that a model’s impact can be transmitted through their mere presence and actions.

C. Not until a model performs or explains their motives can the observer’s attention be transformed into prosocial behavior.

D. Much as a person might intend to be a role model, their influence is strictly confined to moments of formal instruction and performance.
