Answer: when jane is in a good mood and somewhat distracted.

Explanation:

Samantha's approach is related to the audience effect. The audience effect is a type of social facilitation in which a individual's performance is influenced by the presence of others (an audience). This was first noticed in the late 1800s with the work of Norman Triplett who found that bicyclists were slower when racing a clock than when racing against other cyclists.
