According to the reading, Carlos changed his mindset because his groupmates think he was someone they could work with and someone they could appreciate.
No, because it doesn’t implicate how the brain works, and the malleable nature of intelligence
Yes, because the Jigsaw methods let even the low-achieving students become expert and help other students. These students will feel they could also achieve better score if they work hard.

Not quite right. Here is one of the correct answers. Retry after reading it.
Probably not (though it's not impossible). Jigsaw is mostly focused around empathy and interpersonal skills. It does not explicitly teach learners how brains and learning works, which is usually needed to convert students to growth mindsets. Rather, it teaches students that they can work with many different kinds of people, and achieve more than they previously thought (though it doesn't teach them why they can do these things)"}
