Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Robotlike speech, processing in sequence, and breaking down new information into segments are characteristics of the left hemisphere of the cerebrum. Adding tone and inflection to the voice is the only option listed that is characteristic of the right hemisphere of the cerebrum.

Answer to Question 2

When the learner is unable to accomplish the tasks mentioned in the item, inability to comprehend what is read is usually the cause, not low intelligence, lack of interest, or need for a different learning style.
