question 16
what does entitlement among college students mean in paragraph 16?
a. they do not want rewards.
b. they feel deserving of rewards.
c. they have worked hard for rewards.
d. they have not been properly rewarded.

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze the concept of "entitlement" in the context of college students and participation trophies. Entitlement here refers to the belief of deserving rewards (like trophies) without earning them. Option B says they feel deserving of rewards, which aligns with entitlement. Option A is wrong as they do want rewards; C is wrong as entitlement is about unearned rewards; D is wrong as it's about feeling deserving, not about proper rewarding.

Answer:

B. They feel deserving of rewards
