C. Describing the colors that you used to paint your bedroom, is the correct answer.

Answer 2

An example of spatial thinking is B. Giving someone directions to your house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spatial thinking is the set of cognitive skills which allows one to construct and manipulate mental representations of objects within space and the relations between them.

In other words, it is the ability one has of mentally visualize objects in space as well as corporeal movements within them.

Given this explanation, the correct answer is giving someone directions to your house since you need to have the mental picture of the streets and the way, as well as houses and objects which could also be there.

A person with a developed spatial thinking would be able to mentally navigate the way to his/her house, for example and would give accurate directions such as "walk until the end of the street then turn left, you will see a lamp post on the side and you walk straight until you arrive at a grocery store, then turn right and the last house on the left is mine".
