Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When Rita is looking in the mirror, she may be more likely to want to see herself as a kind and charitable person, and therefore be more receptive to a request for donation. Additionally, research has shown that people are more likely to comply with a request when they feel good about themselves, and looking in the mirror may boost Rita's self-esteem.
