Explanation:

Okay, let us get some points in this question. We are given that Monique always throw away her shredded junk mails but their was a scenario that occured that gave her the thought of using the what she used in shredding junk mails that she often throw away to pack her materials.

Answer:

overcome functional fixedness

Explanation:

Monique routinely uses a shredder to shred her junk-mail into confetti-sized pieces of paper, which she then just throws away. When packing her glassware to move into a new apartment, she runs out of protective styrofoam packing material. Suddenly Monique gets the idea to empty her shredder and use the shredded junk mail confetti for packing material. In this case, Monique has <u>overcome functional fixedness</u>. Functional fixedness is a cognitive bias that makes people limit the use of a thing or object to the traditional  use for which it was made.

Monique was fixed on using the shredder for the traditional purpose for which it was made and throwing away the junk mails, which is for shredding junk mails. However, her decision to deviate from the traditional usage of the shredder and instead using the shredded papers for packing shows that she has overcome functional fixedness with regards to the use of a shredder.

Why cant a population of squirrels grown and grow forever?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

No population can grow beyond certain limits. This is called a limiting factor.

Explanation:

Let's take the example of rabbits.

In the warmer temperature, the rabbit population grows, and the adults grow older/die a bit.

In colder temperatures, there is less room to support the population, as well as not enough food to support so many rabbits, so some pass away.

Another example of rabbits is mates! If there aren't enough of each genders, then there won't be enough mates to reproduce.

This is why the rabbit/squirrel population is never really expanding/"contracting".

Hope this helps!

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

b. social-cultural

Explanation:

In sociology and research, the social-cultural context refers to the social environment in which our actions develop, in other words, it refers to the <u>culture that surround us as well as the institutions that belong to our culture.</u>

<u />

In this example, the researcher's findings are criticized in the media and considered unacceptable to members of Congress. We can see that <u>the institutions (media and Congress) of the culture where the study took place  are opposed to it </u>and therefore the program is suspended. Therefore this would be an example of the b. social-cultural context of science.
