Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When someone reads for their own pleasure, they are motivated intrinsically, meaning they are driven by their own interest, enjoyment, or personal satisfaction. It is not motivated by external factors, such as rewards or pressure from outside sources (extrinsic motivation). It is also not motivated by the engaging nature of the piece, as that is more of a response to the reading material rather than a motivation for reading it in the first place. Therefore, the best answer is B, intrinsically motivated.
