Question 2

Marcos, one of your history students comments, The French and Indian War in the mid 1750s was so costly for the British that they started imposing heavy taxes on the American colonies, which contributed to the American Revolutionary War that started in 1775.
  Simon, another one of your students, says, Our book says The French and Indian Wars in the Americas lasted from about the mid 1750s to the early 1760s. The Revolutionary War started in 1775 and went to 1783.
  Which of the following statements best describes the difference in the meaningfulness of Marcos's and Simon's schemas?
 
  a. Marcos's schema is more meaningful than is Simon's, since it describes relationships in information.
  b. Simon's schema is more meaningful than is Marcos's, since it also includes the ending date of the Revolutionary War.
  c. Marcos's schema is more meaningful than is Simon's, since it is stored in his long-term memory.
  d. Simon's schema is more meaningful than is Marcos's, since he got the dates of the wars from his textbook.
