Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Analysis means to be able to break down complex information into its basic parts and relate those parts to the whole picture. Knowledge refers to the ability to recall and repeat information one has memorized. Application means being able to use learned material in new situations. Comprehension refers to the ability to very basically understand information, recall it, and identify examples of that information.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Directed thinking is purposeful and outcome oriented. Habitual thinking involves any routine that is important but does not require one to think hard about how to do it. Nonfocused thinking occurs when the brain is engaged out of habit without much conscious thought. Ruminative thinking occurs when the same situation or scene is replayed in the mind over and over, without reaching an outcome.
