Answer:

The correct answer is:

using a pair of pliers as a paperweight. (a.)

Explanation:

Functional fixedness as the name implies, refer to theories that promote the use of an object in a traditional sense, rejecting innovative and circumstantial use of such objects. For example, using a knife to drive screws defiles the theory of functional fixedness. A knife is traditionally designed and used for cutting, and functional fixedness adopts its use for cutting and piercing alone. Functional fixedness originated in Gestalt psychology, a psychology movement which promotes holistic processing.

Functional fixedness often occurs naturally as one grows and is influenced by their immediate culture. An experiment to support this fact was carried out on 5 and 7 year olds, and it was discovered that the 5 year olds had more likelihood to use any opject at their disposal to achieve an immediate task at hand, while the 7 year olds, having been culturized long enough had a more object specific approach.

Answer:

The abolitionists were accused of provoking stronger sectionalism because they used violent and aggressive tactics and actively worked to undermine the slave system in the south.  

Explanation:

Some historians say that the abolitionists actually helped to strengthen sectionalism in the south because In the North, the abolitionist feeling grew and there was opposition to the extension of slavery into the Western regions that had not yet become states. The Southerners believed that slavery was essential to their economy and even non-slaveholding whites in the the south generally supported slavery because they did not want the competition for land from free blacks. In 1835 antislavery mailings were sent to southern post offices and this angered the pro-slavery segment of Southern society. John Brown was an abolitionist who tried to start a slave revolt in the south in 1859 with a raid on an arsenal at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
