Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drive is responsible for urging Nate to walk toward the cafeteria to quench his thirst. Drive is an internal state of tension that motivates an organism to engage in activities that should reduce this tension. In this case, the tension is the thirst that Nate feels, and the activity to reduce this tension is to get some soda from the cafeteria. Instinct refers to innate behaviors that are genetically determined, intuition refers to the ability to understand something instinctively without conscious reasoning, and reflex refers to an automatic response to a stimulus. None of these factors are directly related to Nate's decision to go to the cafeteria.
