Suppose that several high school algebra teachers are trying to encourage their students to use analogies more appropriately when they try to solve word problems. The teachers should instruct students
 
  a. to make an educated guess about the answer before trying to solve it.
  b. to make a matrix that shows the surface similarities between a current problem and a previous problem.
  c. to sort a number of problems into categories, based on structural similarities.
  d. to use the hill-climbing heuristic.

Question 2

A major problem with using the analogy approach to problem solving is that
 
  a. people pay too little attention to structural features.
  b. people pay too little attention to surface features.
  c. people select an inappropriate matrix to represent their understanding of the problem.
  d. people perform an exhaustive search, which is a time-consuming approach to problem solving.
