Pick the cell (1,2,3 or 4) that most appropriately describes the level of emotion and rational thinking for Waldo. Waldo drives the SUV to the store with a list of things to buy from his wife.

  Cell 1
- B.
  
  Cell 2
- C.
  
  Cell 3
- D.
  
  Cell 4
Correct Answer
C. Cell 3

Explanation
In this scenario, Waldo demonstrates a moderate level of emotion and rational thinking. He shows a level of emotion by wanting to fulfill his wife's request and taking the time to read labels. At the same time, he exhibits rational thinking by considering the health aspect and looking for the cooking oil with the lowest cholesterol. This indicates that he is not solely driven by emotions but also takes logical factors into account. Therefore, cell 3, which represents a moderate level of emotion and rational thinking, is the most appropriate description for Waldo in this situation.

He is primarily driven by his emotions and desires rather than making a rational decision based on the content or value of the magazine.
