The scenario involves a student who missed an assignment deadline and must decide how to proceed. 
Option 1: 'It's late, I can't submit it... oh well.' This option reflects a resignation to zero points and ignores the possibility of submitting for partial credit or late submission policies; it’s generally not the best first choice. 
Option 2: 'Go ahead and turn it in - some points are better than a 0' This choice acknowledges that submitting late—if allowed by policy—can earn some credit rather than risking a complete zero; it leverages any potential leniency or late submission rules. It also aligns with practical academic strategy: not giving up and taking whatever credit is possible. 
Option 3: 'Email you assignment ASAP to Dr. Pohlschneider' While sending the assignment promptly is good, this option assumes the assignment file is ready to submit and that the instructor accepts late submissions via email; it also omits checking official policy about late submissions and may not address the actual submission method. 
Option 4: 'Email, phone and stop by Dr. Pohlschneider's office to apologize and beg her to take it anyway.' This approach is overly confrontational and could be perceived as unprofessional or coercive; it risks damaging rapport or sounding insincere, and it relies on an outcome (accepting late work) that may not be granted. 
In framing the best choice, consider: what are typical policies on late submissions, and how should a student communicate with the instructor? Often, instructors allow late submissions with a deduction or partial credit, or they provide a clear policy in the syllabus; with that in mind, submitting late is generally preferable to not submitting at all, provided it’s done through the accepted channel. 
Thus, each alternative has its own potential drawbacks: the first closes the door to possible credit, the third depends on policy and readiness, and the fourth can undermine professional boundaries. The second option remains the most balanced, practical approach given common academic contexts, as it preserves the chance of earning partial credit without overstepping communication norms. 
Therefore, the reasoning favors recognizing that even late work can yield some points, whereas the other options either discard any chance for credit or rely on questionable or excessively forceful tactics.
