Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Affordances refer to the potential actions or opportunities provided by the environment or objects within it to an individual. Choices A, B, and C all describe scenarios where an individual or situation provides an opportunity or potential action (improving a grade, social interaction, and a threat of job loss, respectively). Choice D, your performance on a test, does not offer an action or opportunity; it is an outcome of an action, not an affordance.
