A growth mindset can be contrasted to a ______ mindset. Options: A. person, B. positive, C. role mode, D. prevention.

Step 1: Answer Question 10.
Question 10 asks: "A growth mindset can be contrasted to a ______ mindset."
A growth mindset is characterized by the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort and learning. Its direct opposite is a fixed mindset, which believes abilities are static and unchangeable. Since "fixed" is not an option, we must evaluate the given choices.

• A. person: This is not a type of mindset.
• B. positive: A growth mindset is generally considered a positive mindset, so this is not a contrast.
• C. role mode: This appears to be a typo for "role model," which is a person, not a mindset.
• D. prevention: In some psychological contexts (like regulatory focus theory), a prevention focus emphasizes avoiding negative outcomes and maintaining the status quo. This can be seen as contrasting with a growth mindset's emphasis on seeking challenges, learning, and development (a promotion focus). While not the standard term "fixed mindset," a "prevention mindset" implies a focus on avoiding risks and maintaining current abilities rather than developing new ones, which aligns with characteristics of a fixed mindset.

Given the options, "prevention mindset" is the most plausible contrast, as it implies a focus on avoiding failure or maintaining the current state, which is contrary to the growth-oriented nature of a growth mindset.

$$\boxed{\text{D. prevention}}$$
