Complete Sternberg's definition: adapt to, shape and ___ the environment.

  1. ignore
  2. measure
  3. inherit
  4. select
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. select

1. Recall the fact: Sternberg's definition: adapt to, shape and select the environment. 2. The option "select" matches it. 3. Why the others fail: Measuring or inheriting an environment is not part of his definition. 4. Check the stem wording against the fact: only one option satisfies both. _Source: NCERT Class XII Psychology, Ch 1 Variations in Psychological Attributes (lepy101.pdf), "Triarchic Theory of Intelligence"_
