You're moving into a new apartment and trying to fit your large chair through the doorway. Your friend, who is helping you move, suggests rotating the chair a different way and seeing if it fits. However, you remember that the last time you moved the chair, it must first be reclined in order to fit through the doorway.

B. Your friend is demonstrating trial-and-error, and you're demonstrating imprinting.

Answer:

C. Your friend is demonstrating trial-and-error, and you're demonstrating insight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Insight means that you have an understanding and knowledge about the subject in a inner way, that you know more deeply the matter, and in this case as you have previous knowledge from when you tried to move the chair in the past, and now you know how to do it, while your friend is trying a new way to do it based on a trial and error, since the first way didnĀ“t work, now he wants to rotate it since he thinks that is the next logical step.

Your friend is demonstrating trial-and-error. They would try different angles until one allows the chair to go through. You are demonstrating insight. This means that you are taking what you learned in a similar situation, and using it to respond to this situation. You had already done this before and try to reenact what had worked previously.

That makes the answer to this question C.

Hope this helped!
