Answer:

• Jane cannot find her keys

• Bill cannot answer a question on an exam after studying for it.

• Annabel could not remember the ending to a movie she had seen three years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

Memory loss due to forgetting occurs when a person's memory is lost or when a stored memory cannot be recalled or retrieved. This may be caused by changes in the brain's sstructure. It may happen for a short while and then resolve, or it may get worse with time.

From the question, the following are indicate memory problems as a result of forgetting:

•Jane cannot find her keys. It simply means she has forgotten exactly where she placed the keys, which is a sign absent mindedness.

• Bill cannot answer a question on an exam after studying for it. This statement implies that Bill has forgotten everything he read proir to the exam.

• Annabel could not remember the ending to a movie she had seen three years ago: In this case, Annabel had seen this movie 3 years ago, but she could no longer remember the ending. It means she has forgotten a part of the movie. This is a case of misattribution.
