Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When a learning style preference is not producing results, one should consider change. Thinking that one can study in the presence of noise and other distractions is a common fallacy. The student should try studying in a quiet place. Joining a study group should not be the first consideration. Tutoring may not be necessary; it should not be the first consideration. Cramming is never advocated as a helpful method for improving grades.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Creating a situation in which the student is reminded of elapsed time should limit the time spent on the Internet yet permit the student to complete the assignment independently.
