Instructions ›
You will hear a recording. At the end of the recording the last word or group of words has been replaced by a beep. Select the correct option to complete the recording.
One way that we could actually kind of reframe this is saying like, you don't care about money just for yourself, but care about it for your family, care about it for the people that you love. Because if you mismanage your money it's not just going to affect you, but it’s also going to affect all the people around you that you care about, and that you love deeply." Which might translate agreeable people's superpower - which is caring about other people into better financial sense. The results are in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. So if Matz does succeed in teaching nice people to be more stingy, who is gonna pick up the tab? "Well then it's like a matter of negotiating, right? Then it should just be more equally distributed. So if the agreeable person suddenly says look I can't pay all the time, I am very happy to do that once in a while, but I also want you to kind of give something back, because that's what makes a relationship a relationship, and not a - one way street.

Option 1: "one way street"

Explanation: The phrase 'one way street' is used in the text to describe a relationship that lacks reciprocity. The context indicates that a relationship should involve mutual giving and receiving, which aligns with the idea of avoiding a one-sided dynamic. This phrase is directly supported by the text, where the speaker emphasizes the importance of balance in relationships.

Option 2: "financial market"

Explanation: The term 'financial market' does not relate to the context of relationships discussed in the text. The text focuses on personal relationships and the dynamics of giving and receiving, rather than financial concepts. Therefore, this option is irrelevant and does not fit the overall theme.

Option 3: "person with superpower"

Explanation: While the text mentions agreeable people's 'superpower' of caring for others, this phrase does not complete the sentence meaningfully. The focus is on the dynamics of relationships rather than labeling individuals. Thus, this option is too vague and does not capture the essence of the discussion.

Option 4: "person who is stingy"

Explanation: The phrase 'person who is stingy' contradicts the main idea of the text, which advocates for balance in relationships. The text suggests that agreeable individuals should learn to negotiate and not always bear the financial burden alone. Therefore, this option misrepresents the intended message and is not supported by the text.
