Question

Pam and Jaquan are going to drive from New York to Los Angeles, where they will attend college, and they have decided to break the trip up into several shorter days of driving instead of trying to drive all the way without stopping. They plan to stop in Chicago, Denver, and Las Vegas, before reaching Los Angeles on the fourth day. If they are successful then Pam and Jaquan will reach their goal by having used the problem solving method of:________a. subgoals.b. sudden insight.c. working backward.d. analogies.

Answer 1

A. Sub-goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sub-goals can be defined as a smaller goal which helps in achieving larger goals.

Sub-goals are important when we have main goals that are usually large from where we are at right now.

The distance between New York and Los Angeles is about 4490 km approx. So, the plan that Pam and Jaquan have made to stop at several locations and not drive without stopping is sub-goals because they have a bigger goal i.e., to reach Los Angeles from New York.

So, the correct answer is option A.
