Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Connie's change in attitude is a result of role playing, which is a technique used to change attitudes and behavior by encouraging individuals to adopt a new role or perspective, and act accordingly. By putting on her uniform and taking on the role of a waitress, Connie began to internalize the attitudes and behaviors associated with that role, which led to a change in her overall attitude towards her job as a waitress.
