Explanation:

1. The word "rationale" means the set of reasons or logical basis for a course of action, belief, or decision. "Coming up with reasons for buying expensive shoes", "saying why you made a decision", and "explaining your questionable actions" all involve providing reasons or justifications, which align with the meaning of "rationale". "Having a limited amount of something" is not related to the concept of rationale.
2. The word "formative" means having a profound effect on the development of someone or something. "A candidate’s speech that heavily influences your opinion on an issue", "having lived one summer with your grandfather, who taught you blacksmithing", "attending preschool, which affects early brain development", and "developing political opinions based on experiences from when you were young" all describe experiences or factors that have an impact on development, which is in line with the meaning of "formative".
