Discussion
Two commonly used strategies for effective problem-solving are :
Answer: C
The two strategies are heuristics and algorithms.
An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure that is guaranteed to give the right answer if followed correctly, such as the method for long division. A heuristic is a rule of thumb or shortcut, such as working backwards or breaking a problem into parts, which often works and saves time but does not guarantee success.
The other pairs include response set and functional fixedness, which are obstacles to problem-solving, not strategies. A response set is the tendency to keep using an approach that worked before, and functional fixedness is seeing an object only in its usual use.
