The correct answer is D. decreases . . . improves. McGeoch & McDonald (1931) tested their hypothesis that words with the same meaning would be more prone to interference than the unrelated information. In the experiment participants were given a list of words that they practised until they fully memorized it. They were then given another list to remember. The second lists varied, so the second list was totally unrelated. Others were given a second list that contained synonyms of the first. When asked to recall the first list, those who had learned synonyms in the second list had a weaker result and learning unrelated information in the second list produced less impairment. The conclusion was that the interference was most likely to occur with the similar material.
It was in the 1960's that the civil liberty was most seriously threatened where the social movements such as 1960 Civil Rights Movement were pushing for their rights and to put an end to discrimination particularly to the African-Americans in the country.
1. Feudal lords force King John to sign the Magna Carta.

2. Parliament claims the rights of citizens with the Petition of Right.
This is a document created in 1628. It is an important document in English history because it restricted the authority of the king and protected the freedoms of the citizens. This document dealt with taxes, unlawful imprisonment, martial law, etc.
3. The English Bill of Rights expands more rights to commoners.
Bill of Rights is another document created to protect civil and natural rights of citizens. It was signed in 1689 and similarly to Petition of Right, it was passed in order to restrict the authority of the monarch and the Parliament as well.
