Question

Read the passage and identify the statement(s) which follow(s) from it: Passage: The purpose of this work is to inform educators about the brain science related to emotion and learning, and, more important, to offer strategies to apply these understandings to their own teaching. Although many of the approaches I describe will be familiar, integrating the lens of emotion and the brain may be a new concept. As an educator I had been trained in how to deliver content and organize my lessons, but I had not been taught how to design learning experiences that support emotions for learning.

• A. The author wishes, through his work, to inform us about brain science and learning.
• B. The author, through his work, wishes to offer strategies to apply our learnings to our teaching.
• C. The author feels that the newness of his approach lies in linking emotion oriented approach to brain.
• D. The author wants to use emotions as a strategy for learning.

Hint:

When multiple statements seem correct, always check for the exact emphasis of the passage. Subtle differences in focus (like "any learnings" vs. "emotion-brain strategies") decide the accuracy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, C, D

Step 1: Analyze the main purpose of the passage. The author clearly states that the work aims to "inform educators about the brain science related to emotion and learning." $\Rightarrow$ (A) is correct. Step 2: Look for newness in approach. The passage mentions that while many approaches are familiar, "integrating the lens of emotion and the brain may be a new concept." $\Rightarrow$ (C) is correct. Step 3: Consider emotions as a strategy. The author admits lack of training in designing learning experiences that support emotions, implying that emotions should be incorporated as a strategy for learning. $\Rightarrow$ (D) is correct. Step 4: Eliminate incorrect option. (B) is partially true (the author does mention strategies), but the focus is on applying understandings of emotion and brain science, not just applying any learnings. The key emphasis is missing, so (B) is not as accurate as A, C, and D. Step 5: Final Answer. Thus, the valid statements are: \[ \boxed{\text{(A), (C), and (D)}} \]
