Question 2

Mrs. Everett is teaching her class about adjectives and has shown students the following passage:

Tim and Sharon went to their favorite hangout to meet their best friends, Quin and Sancha. They had fun and listened to some new music.

Mrs. Everett helps them recognize that favorite, best, and new are adjectives, and the students see that each of the adjectives appears in front of the noun. Mrs. Everett then gives the students the following short vignette and asks the students to identify the adjectives:

Bill and Katie, with her brown hair blowing in the brisk wind, went in his new car to the game. The
game was incredibly exciting, and their team barely won.

Anya identifies brown, brisk and new as adjectives, but she doesn't recognize that exciting is also an adjective, since it follows the noun instead of appearing in front of it.
Of the following, which principle of cognitive learning best explains why Anya would fail to recognize that exciting is an adjective?

a. Learners construct knowledge with the support of more knowledgeable peers.
b. Knowledge that is constructed depends on what learners already know.
c. Social interaction facilitates learning.
d. Learning depends on practice and feedback.
