Question

A police officer visits Timothy and Evelyn's class to discuss safety rules. To attract the children's attention, the officer brings colorful balloons and many jars of bubbles for the children to blow. Later, Timothy tells his parents about all the safety rules the officer discussed. Timothy obviously paid attention to what was:
A. salient.
B. relevant.
C. habituated.
D. superfluous.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. salient

Explanation:

To attract the children's attention, the police officer had to make use of an uncommon, outstanding element in the classroom. All options denote common or unattractive features except for salient. Salient means something that is "noticeable or important", which strongly relates to the police officer's objective.
