a. number sense
c. abstract thinking skills
b. creativity
d. none of these

Answer:

B Creativity

Explanation:

I just took the test

The correct answer is 'b. creativity.' Rhyming techniques enhance the use of creativity by allowing learners to engage in language arts and compose rhythmic patterns, which can also be linked to enhancing cognitive abilities for numerical skills.

Applying the rhyming technique allows the learner to use their creativity. Rhyming is a fundamental part of language arts and involves creative processes. When learners engage with rhymes and poetry, they are not only exercising their language skills but also their creativity as they compose and recognize rhythmic patterns and sound structures. Within educational contexts, rhyming facilitates the development of memory strategies, such as rhymed pegging, which is a mnemonic device that links numbers with objects through rhyme. This creativity is something all individuals can access and involves open-mindedness and a release of control as part of the process. Moreover, rhymes and rhythm can enhance cognitive abilities and help learners make connections between information, which is why it's also related to the acquisition of numerical skills like understanding numerical magnitudes, a critical aspect for mathematical achievement.

"Ni kan," my mother said, calling me over with hurried hand gestures. "Look here."

I could see why my mother was fascinated by the music. It was being pounded out by a little Chinese girl, about nine years old, with a Peter Pan haircut. The girl had the sauciness of a Shirley Temple. She was proudly modest like a proper Chinese child. And she also did this fancy sweep of a curtsy, so that the fluffy skirt of her white dress cascaded slowly to the floor like petals of a large carnation.

In spite of these warning signs, I wasn't worried. Our family had no piano and we couldn't afford to buy one, let alone reams of sheet music and piano lessons. So I could be generous in my comments when my mother bad-mouthed the little girl on TV.

"Play note right, but doesn't sound good! No singing sound," complained my mother.

"What are you picking on her for?" I said carelessly. "She's pretty good. Maybe she's not the best, but she's trying hard." I knew almost immediately I would be sorry I said that.

"Just like you," she said. "Not the best. Because you not trying." She gave a little huff as she let go of the sound dial and sat down on the sofa.

Which excerpt from John Muir’s “Save the Redwoods” best appeals to readers’ logic?

a. Could one of these Sequoia Kings come to town in all its godlike majesty so as to be strikingly seen and allowed to plead its own cause, there would never again be any lack of defenders.

b. Forty-seven years ago one of these Calaveras King Sequoias was laboriously cut down, that the stump might be had for a dancing-floor. Another, one of the finest in the grove, more than three hundred feet high, was skinned alive to a height of one hundred and sixteen feet from the ground and the bark sent to London to show how fine and big that Calaveras tree was—as sensible a scheme as skinning our great men would be to prove their greatness.

c. These kings of the forest, the noblest of a noble race, rightly belong to the world, but as they are in California we cannot escape responsibility as their guardians. Fortunately the American people are equal to this trust . . . as soon as they see it and understand it.

d. The Tuolumne and Merced groves near Yosemite, the Dinky Creek grove, those of the General Grant National Park and the Sequoia National Park, with several outstanding groves that are nameless on the Kings, Kaweah, and Tule river basins, and included in the Sierra forest reservation, have of late years been partially protected by the Federal Government; while the well-known Mariposa Grove has long been guarded by the State.
