Answer to Question 1

In this case an appropriate superimposed meaningful structure would be a word, acronym, sentence, story, or poem that represents the seven days in their correct order. An example is Susie Mae Turner watched three fancy satellites.

Answer to Question 2

a. Verbal mediation involves connecting two things via a phrase or sentence. One possibility is The rabbit has a can on its chin.
b. The keyword method involves identifying one or more key words that sound similar to, or otherwise represent, the things to be remembered, and then forming a visual image using the keyword(s). One possibility is forming a visual image of a rabbit that has a can on its chin.
