Answer: The correct answer is the first one.

Explanation:

The Boston Massacre, that took place on March 5, 1770, was part of a series of events that took place during the American Revolution between 1765 and 1783.

John Adams, a further U.S President was request to defend captain Preston and the soldiers involved in the confrontation. With other renowned lawyer of the time, Josiah Quincy II, he lead the case resulting in the acquittal of captain Preston and six other soldiers; the other two soldiers were found guilty of manslaughter.

Three years after the trial, in his autobiography <u><em>Diary and Autobiography of John Adams</em></u><u> </u><u><em>volume 2</em></u><em> </em>he established: <em>"he Part I took in Defence of Cptn. Preston and the Soldiers, procured me Anxiety, and Obloquy enough. It was, however, one of the most gallant, generous, manly and disinterested Actions of my whole Life, and one of the best Pieces of Service I ever rendered my Country" </em>proving he was proud to take the case, and then <em>"Judgment of Death against those Soldiers would have been as foul a Stain upon this Country as the Executions of the Quakers or Witches, anciently. As the Evidence was, the Verdict of the Jury was exactly right" </em>showing that we completely agreed with the verdict.

Answer:

Craik and Lockhart would say that Abraham must ahve used the deep -or semantic- level of processing while encoding the event.

Explanation:

In 1972, Fergus I. M. Craik and Robert S. Lockhart identified the<u> levels-of-processing effect</u> that makes reference to the memory recall of stimuli in terms of the depth of a mental process.

There are two main levels of processing: <u>shallow processing</u>, which has to do with fragile memory, and <u>deep processing</u><u>,</u> that involves a more durable memory trace.

<u>Deep processing</u> can occur when the person relates the object or situation to something else, when the meaning of something is thought of or when the person processes the importance of the object or situation. At the same time, <u>deep processing</u> can retain memories by repeting information, by analyzing it in a deeper way or by making distinctions between the items involved. All these elements would be present in Abraham's case.
