Hello, Mr. Bae.


I have a question on number 7.


I chose B as an answer because I thought it matched "preserving"the most, which is basically what the question is asking. 

After listening to your explanation, I figured out that B doesn't satisfy the 'process' part. 


As I look at it now, I think I was unsure with the proper meaning of 'preserving' in the context.

I didn't know, scanning and tagging images so that they can be relocated easily is a way of preserving the images.

I now think, preserving images should be viewed like 'preserving artefacts' in the context. 


Do you have anyways to prevent this kind of confusions?

Hey Student!

 

Thanks again for your awesome questions!

 

Hmm...when I get confused between two answers, I like to focus on ONE answer and break up that answer into smaller pieces. Then, I ask a series of small questions that are used to clarify things for me. This is a little unclear, I know...but the following provides an example of how this works:  

 

1.  I would break up (B) and focus on just "Images should be checked...".

 

2. (small question) What does it mean if something "should be checked"? Well, if my mom says I should go to sleep, she is giving me adivce or a recommendation.

 

3. (small question) Is advice the same as a process? Well, a process explains HOW something is done....like, my process for going to sleep is 1. I brush my teeth. 2. then I wash my face 3. I say a prayer.  4. I should turn off the lights?!?! That is advice...not a process!! In other words, turning off the lights is NOT SOMETHING THAT I DO as part of my process.

 

4. GOOD!! I figured it out! So (B) has to be wrong since it doesn't achieve the goal in the question stem.

 

At this point, I do not have to be 100% sure that (A) is right as long as I am 100% sure that (B) is WRONG. =)

 

That is honestly how I try to clarify things that are confusing. MOST students don't do this. They simply bounce back and forth between (A) and (B), which doesn't allow them to consider the MEANING of an answer more deeply. Plus, at this point, many students panic and end up just choosing any answer.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Let me know if you have any further questions k? =) I'm always happy to help.

 

You got this!! Emotion Icon
