Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

First, assessment must be aligned with learning objectives, so the teacher can determine the extent to which learners are learning what she wants them to learn. Second, effective assessments give teachers information about students' thinking. Without this information, teachers are unable to identify students' misconceptions and incomplete understanding.
