Answer to Question 1

Answer: When we have multiple schemas that we could use for interpreting a stimulus, we tend to interpret the stimulus using whichever schema is most accessible, that is, which is most in the forefront of our mind. Schemas can be either chronically accessible, based on long-term experience, or can become temporarily more accessible through priming, in which recent experiences bring certain schemas to the forefront.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
