In an experiment, researchers found that when given the word pair ocean-moon, followed by the word detergent, participants typically said the word tide. participants were then asked why they said tide. which of the following explanations was a participant least likely to give? a. "i love the way tide cleans my bright colors." b. "i see tide commercials on television all the time." c. "my mom used tide when i was growing up." d. "the ocean-moon word pair reminded me of the tide."

D). "The ocean-moon word pair reminded me of the tide."

Explanation:

As per the question, the explanation that a participant would least likely to give would be that 'the word pair ocean-moon reminded me of the tide' as it has no affiliations to participants' prior experiences or emotions with the given word-pair. People usually tend to relate words according to their feelings or previous experiences affiliated to a particular word. Accordingly, the other options are either directly or indirectly associated to a particular emotion or experience. Thus, option D would be the correct answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.

hey, sorry if this was bad, i really didn't know what to write but i wanted to you. is there anything that you had to include within the excerpt?
