Answer:

Considering the results of the Festinger and Carlsmih study of dissonance, the first group would say the text was fun while the second group would say it was boring.

Explanation:

First of all the results of the Festinger and Carlsmith study found out that a tedious task rewarded with small amounts of reward creates cognitive dissonance in the participants making them justify that the tedious tasks were fun, while the tedious tasks rewarded by meaningful rewards tend to make the participants say it was boring without creating dissonance. It is associated with the reward amount and the time employed on doing tedious tasks.
