    What is the key to remembering things?

    • Note taking

    • Staring

    • Talking

    Correct Answer
    A. Note taking
    Explanation
    Note taking is the key to remembering things because it helps to actively engage with the information, process it, and organize it in a way that is easy to review and recall later. When we take notes, we are actively listening or reading, summarizing and condensing the information, and making connections and associations. This process enhances our understanding and retention of the material. Additionally, reviewing our notes regularly reinforces the information in our memory, making it more likely to be remembered in the long term.

    • Ladder of Abstraction

    Correct Answer
    A. Ladder of Abstraction
    Explanation

Hayakawa's concept that language and thought can be represented as a ladder, with concrete and specific words at the bottom and abstract and general concepts at the top. The ladder represents the different levels of abstraction that words can have, with each rung representing a different level of specificity. This concept is used to explain how language can influence our thinking and communication.

    • S.I. Hayakawa

    • Sapir-Whorf

    Correct Answer
    A. Sapir-Whorf
    Explanation
    The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis states that words have the power to shape and influence the way individuals perceive and think about the world around them. This hypothesis suggests that language is not just a tool for communication, but also a determinant of one's thoughts, beliefs, and worldview. According to Sapir-Whorf, the structure and vocabulary of a language can limit or enhance an individual's ability to conceptualize and understand certain concepts. In other words, the words we use can shape our perception and interpretation of reality.
