Explanation:

Question 1

Perception is influenced by psychological and cultural factors. Moods, cultural norms, expectations, and experiences are key influencers. Options a (Moods and cultural norms) and b (Expectations and experiences) align with psychological and sociocultural theories of perception. Options c and d are less direct primary influencers compared to a and b.

The eyes capture visual information, but perception (processing what is seen) occurs in the brain. The brain interprets the sensory input from the eyes. So the correct answer is b.

Perceptual set is shaped by context, culture, emotions, and motivations (from psychological and sociocultural perspectives). Options c (Context and culture) and d (Emotions and motivations) are core components of perceptual set. Options a and b are less central to the concept of perceptual set.

Answer:

a. Moods and cultural norms, b. Expectations and experiences
