Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

A mnemonic is a strategy for improving memory. An acronym is a word composed of the first letters of a series of words. For example, the military sometimes uses the acronym SNAFU (situation normal, all fouled-up). An acrostic is a verse or saying in which the letters of each word stand for something else. For example, the planets can be remembered using Mary's violet eyes make John stay up nights permanently.. Popular sayings and rhymes can also be used (i before e except after c, or as sounded as a as in neighbor or weigh). Visual cues and visual imagery can also be used (e.g., to remember Bill Smith's name, picture a blacksmith with a duckshaped bill while saying his name).
