Great! All are right.
1. A. maintaining a positive attitude is a good study habit. To determine the correct answer, you can eliminate options B, C, and D since they are all counterproductive study habits. Waiting until the last minute to start on an assignment, listening to the television while studying, and studying when you are tired can all hinder your ability to focus and retain information. Therefore, the only remaining option is A, maintaining a positive attitude, which can help improve motivation, concentration, and overall learning outcomes.
2. D. Try studying at the library instead of at home. This is the best advice to give John in this situation. To determine the correct answer, you can eliminate options A, B, and C. Locking the kitchen door may not completely eliminate the distractions caused by John's younger brothers. Studying on the couch in front of the television may introduce additional distractions. Waiting to study until right before the test is not an effective strategy for learning and retaining information. Therefore, the best option is D, suggesting John to study at the library where he can find a quiet and conducive environment for focused learning.
3. B. Look at the headings and subheadings of the lesson to get an idea of what the lesson is about. This is the most effective way to begin studying a lesson. To determine the correct answer, you can eliminate options A, C, and D. While making up questions about the lesson can be helpful for active learning, it is not the initial step to begin studying. Reviewing the lesson that comes after it is not necessary when starting to study a particular lesson. Looking ahead to see if the material will be tested may provide some guidance, but it does not directly help in understanding the current lesson. Therefore, the best option is B, looking at the headings and subheadings to get an overview of the lesson.
4. B. Questioning keeps your brain actively trying to find answers while you are reading. This is the importance of questioning in the SQ3R system. To determine the correct answer, you can eliminate options A, C, and D. Questioning does not primarily help you read the material quickly; it helps with understanding and retention. Questioning may not specifically help you identify questions on a test. Questioning is not directly associated with the surveying step of the SQ3R system. Therefore, the best option is B, as it aligns with the purpose of questioning in SQ3R.
5. A. Reciting the answers to questions out loud helps you remember the answers to those questions. This is the importance of the reciting step in the SQ3R system. To determine the correct answer, you can eliminate options B, C, and D. Reciting out loud is not the only way to study for a test; however, it is an effective method for reinforcing learning and memory. Reciting does not eliminate the need for taking notes; note-taking is a separate and complementary study technique. Reciting aims to reinforce understanding and retention, rather than memorizing the entire lesson word for word. Therefore, the best option is A, as it highlights the purpose of reciting in the SQ3R system.
