Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terrence's behavior suggests that he is afraid of making a commitment to his family business. He keeps delaying the decision because he may not be ready or willing to dedicate himself to the responsibilities that come with the job. This could stem from a fear of failure or disappointing others (options A and D), but commitment seems to be the root of the issue. Option B, fear of success, is unlikely given that the family business should provide a pathway to success.
