Mr. Andriesse has taught his fifth graders about metaphors and similes. He has given them several examples of each, and they also formed a definition of each. He then supplied the term metaphor and linked it to its definition and then introduced the term simile and linked it to its definition. Mr. Andriesse then had them write a paragraph that included at least three examples each of similes and metaphors. Most of the students were able to do it. For those that were, this best illustrates:
a. metacognition.
b. study skills.
c. transfer.
d. critical thinking.
