Question

hijinios car suddenly broke down while he was driving his meals - on - wheels route. when he got out of the car to check, he instantly knew the ball joint had broken because the front wheel was stuck at the same angle he remembered from a previous break down with his old car. what problem solving strategy did hijinio use?

o analogy
o insight
o mental set
o algorithm

Explanation:

Analogy involves using a similar past situation (old car breakdown) to solve a current problem (new car breakdown). Hijinio recognized the similarity (front wheel angle) between the two breakdowns, which is characteristic of the analogy strategy. Insight is a sudden understanding without prior similar experience. Mental set is a tendency to solve problems in a fixed way. An algorithm is a step - by - step procedure. Since Hijinio used a past similar case (analogy), the answer is analogy.

Answer:

A. analogy
