Jennette scored very low on a measure of extraversion
contained on a personality inventory she took in her psychology class. What can we predict about her likeliness to attend Saturday's homecoming dance?

B) We would not do very well predicting her attendance at the dance.
C) Despite a low score on extraversion, if Jennette has nothing better to do, she will probably attend.
D) If her other scores on the inventory are high, she will probably attend the dance.
