-

Which of the following factors would have the least impact on the meaning of a word?
-
The denotative meaning
-
Time
-
The personal experience of the individual
-

Correct Answer
A. The denotative meaningExplanation
The denotative meaning of a word refers to its dictionary definition or literal meaning. This factor would have the least impact on the meaning of a word because it is objective and does not take into account subjective factors such as personal experience or regional variations.

Methods of retaining information.
-
Methods of evaluating content.

Correct Answer
A. Methods of retaining information.Explanation
Visualization, paraphrasing, and repetition are all techniques that can help individuals retain information.

Formative feedback refers to feedback that is given during the learning process to help improve performance. The statement "Timing is the most important element" is true because providing feedback at the right time is crucial for its effectiveness. Feedback given too late may not have the desired impact, while feedback given too early may not be relevant or useful.
