Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The scenario describes a student who is negatively affected by environmental distractions. Sitting at a desk in a quiet room is the best environment for one who is easily distracted by environmental events, because it limits environmental stimuli. Sitting on a bed with the feet up and the back against a pillow would promote relaxation (sleep) and daydreaming. Sitting in a reclining chair with the television on or at the kitchen table during meal preparation or clean-up places the student in the midst of considerable environmental stimulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Organization, practice, and hard work are the qualities that lead to the acquisition of study skills.
