Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows. randy was in an earthquake. afterwards she talked to her neighbors, who explained the earthquake as “destructive” and “scary.” when asked by another person if anything had fallen during the earthquake, randy said something did fall when, in fact, nothing had fallen. her factual error is most likely due to which of the following? a. reality monitoring b. schemas c. misinformation effect d. source-monitoring error

The correct answer is C. Misinformation effect

Explanation:

The term misinformation effect refers to the way some memory can become less accurate or can have a factual error due to post-event information. This means, the misinformation effect is about the effect information about certain events has on the way people remember they experienced the same event and that usually leads to a distortion in the memories. This occurs as the process of remembering the first event is disrupted by new information about the event which makes some people unable to determine which part of the information belongs to the experience itself and which part of it was obtained after the event or experience ended. Considering Randy experiences during the earthquake was modified by a piece of information from her neighbors she received shortly after the personal experience ended and that made Randy confused avoid the real experiences and her neighbors words it can be concluded the factual error of Randy emerged as a result of misinformation effect.

there purpose is to entertain

it was the fourth thursday of november and cassey headed down to the woods to pick up the mushrooms mother had told her to to complement the turkey the family was going to have as they did every day.

she usually sweapt the floors and went for water, but today that task was asked to her younger sister since matthew, the only boy, had gone to the town with father in order to find cheap fabrics to make clothes.

the shoe business was not being as profitable as before, so they had decided to make clothes to sell in the village.

today there would not be time to play with mary, her neighbour and friend, to play to be still in water, a game that was not only part of the fun in the village, but also very useful if there happened to be an acciddent when she had to cross the shore by boat, as she had to at least twice a week to visit grandma.

bored and uninterested in the task she had been imposed to do, cassey started to pull up the best mushrooms she could see. suddenly, something hard was found by her tender fingers. she couldn't believe her eyes: a gold ring crowned by a diamond appeared between her fragile fingers

before she had time to think what to do, a deep voice spoke at her back.

- i heard your mum asking you to pick up mushrooms for the turkey - said her beloved tom - would you collect mushrooms for me next day?

- yes, sure. are you planning to invite someone important? - cassey asked.

- of course. i'm planning to invite two families, mine and my wife's. will you marry me? - tom asked on his knees.

cassey looked at the ring, then at tom, and she felt the moisture in her eyes. she hugged him, kissed him and in those simple actions the answer of her life was implied.
