Answer:
b. 15 seconds
Explanation:
While driving her children, Adriana's car broke down. She called her husband on the cell phone for the number of a towing company. If the children's behavior prevents her from repeating the number to herself, most likely Adriana will need to dial the phone number within the next <u>15 seconds</u> or she will forget the number.
The phone number is committed to her short-term memory and the short-term memory can store an average of 7 bits of information within a duration of 15-30 seconds, if Adriana does not consolidate the information by repeating the number till it is transferred to the long-term memory, she is most likely to forget the number within 15 seconds.

Telemarketers know that anyone who agrees to listen to a pitch is more likely to buy the product, thanks to the foot-in-the-door phenomenon.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- 'Foot-in-the-door phenomenon' is the phenomenon of persuading someone to agree upon a big request after them 'agreeing to a small request'.
- This phenomenon is based on a principle that when a person agrees upon a small request, there is development of bond between the requester and request.
- This development of bond will help the requester to make request agree upon his request.
- In the above case, if a person agrees to listen to the polite pitches of telemarketers, there is agreement on small request and the probability to buy a product will increase because there is development of bond between them.
