Assume that you were a participant in the experiment conducted by Festinger and Carlsmith (1959) in which participants were paid either a large or small sum of money to tell an innocent stranger that the boring,
 
  tedious task you had just completed was really enjoyable and very interesting. Further assume that you were paid a large amount of money to tell the stranger that lie. In this situation, you would be most likely to
  a. convince yourself that the boring task was actually more interesting than you had previously thought.
  b. maintain your original assessment of the task as dull and boring.
  c. convince yourself that the stranger deserved to be lied to.
  d. ask to complete the task again, given that you had high internal justification for doing so.
