Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
These learning modalities stimulate both visual and auditory centers, making them useful for learners with a variety of learning style preferences. The modalities in the other options can be assigned to meet class and unit objectives and thus are considered integral parts of the curriculum. Therefore, learners can be tested on the content they provide.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Psychomotor skills must be practiced if proficiency is to be gained. The remaining options may be helpful as first steps in developing the physical skill, but the learner must eventually practice performing the skill.
