Aignore
Bmeasure
Cinherit
Dselect
Answer & 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.
