Question

Martha, the company receptionists, is told to be pleasant on the phone and represent her employer with an upbeat mood. Although people calling in can't see Martha's expression, she spends most of her day siling. Her coworkers remark that Martha always seems happy. The truth is that it's her_________ that is/are influencing her mind to feel happy.

A) desire to hold onto her job
B) facial muscles
C) Latina background
D) natural personanlity

Answer 1

Where on earth did you get this question?

There's no way anyone can know Martha's motivation with such little information.

Answer 2

First of all, we don't know that she is really feeling happy. Second, there was no indication that Martha was (or was not)a Latina.

However, the persistent act of smiling ("siling"?)can make you feel happier.

Lastly, we would be happier if you checked your typing to avoid typos.

Answer 3

The correct answer is B) facial muscles.

Martha's facial muscles are influencing her mind to feel happy. When we smile, even if it's forced, it triggers certain muscles in our face that send feedback to our brain. This feedback can actually influence our mood and emotions, making us feel happier.

So, in Martha's case, even if she may not naturally feel happy all the time, the act of constantly smiling can have a positive impact on her mindset and make her feel happier throughout the day. It's a way of using her facial muscles to create a feedback loop that enhances her mood.
