34. TRICKY - A seems the obvious answer because the story is evidence of the consequence of a wrong assumption but D is also possible because the purpose of the example was highlight the term 'heuristics'. 

35. TRICKY - only D is an impossible answer. A is possible because of the 'beautiful white carpet' phrase, B is most likely because they are familiar w the slope close to home but it never mentions that they actually used it on several occasions and C could also be true. Your guess is as good as mine then. 

36. A (injuries higher)

37. A (fixes the misconception@false belief)

38. D (self-centred = self-transendence - focused on themselves)

39. C (from info to application)

So how many fid u get correct? Anything above 24/40 is good a d above 33/40 is pretty awesome. Break a leg!
