Question

Breeann Garver · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The text discusses the theory that self-control can fatigue in the short term, leading to a decreased ability to exert self-control in the future. This is supported by research on ego depletion. The text does not suggest that self-control cannot be increased or that exerting self-control in one area cannot improve it in other areas.
