Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cedric's realization that he has run out of gas and his self-criticism for allowing it to happen indicates a recognition of a problem (running out of gas) that results from a decline in his actual state (from being on his way to work to being stranded), which is a downward movement in his actual state.
