ANS: B
Moving around when studying is an example of a bodily/kinesthetic learner. Taking notes when reading assigned chapters is an example of a linguistic learner. Linguistic learners learn best by saying, hearing, and seeing words. They are good at memorizing names, places, dates, and trivia. Taking notes when reading the text and reducing the number of words included in notes would benefit this type of learner. Organizing a personal method of study is an example of a logical/mathematical learner. Making diagrams, boxes, or lists are examples of a spatial learner.
