Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
There are three major learning style preferences. There is a 33.3 chance that Student B is a visual learner. There would be a 100 chance the advice would ensure success only if Student B has a preference for visual learning. The odds for failure are 66.6. The odds that there is a 50 chance the advice will result in success are less than 2:1.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The left brain processes sequentially rather than seeing the big picture. The patient's statement does not relate to adult attention deficit disorder. Fight-or-flight reactions would produce symptoms of anxiety. The corpus callosum is not implicated in the patient's statement.
