Read each paragraph and respond to the questions that follow by choosing the letter of the correct answer.

(1) You can learn techniques to help you remember to do certain things. (2) One technique is to link something you need to remember to another event that you know will take place. (3) For example, if you want to remember that your accounting assignment is due tomorrow, switch your watch (or a ring) from one arm to the other. (4) Then, every time you look at your watch, it becomes a reminder that you were supposed to remember something. (5) Tie a triple knot in your shoelace to remind you to set the alarm for your early morning study group meeting. (6) A second technique is to use imaginary cues. (7) For instance, to remember to write a check for the phone bill, picture your phone hanging onto the front door and picture reaching for the doorknob and grabbing the phone instead. (8) When you get home and reach to open the front door, the image is apt1 to return to you. (9) A third way to remember something is just to tell yourself you will remember it. (10) Specifically, relax and say to yourself, “At any time I choose, I will be able to recall . . . .” (11) The intention to remember can be more powerful than any other memory technique. 1.
