When asked to go the movies, naomi thought, "i'll just study tomorrow instead of tonight. the test isn't until next week anyway." which defense mechanism is naomi employing? denial repression rationalization intellectualization

Because Naomi is doing this, she's using the rationalization defense mechanism. She's using this one because she says to herself she can still study tomorrow considering the exam is a week away from her current time, which means she has a lot of time left.
