  • C.encouraging use of analogies.
  • D.generating fear among students.

Answer: C

Problem-solving abilities can be facilitated by encouraging use of analogies.

An analogy lets a learner see that a new problem shares its structure with one already understood, so a known method can be transferred. Reasoning by analogy is one of the main heuristics in problem solving, and encouraging it helps children approach unfamiliar problems flexibly.

Drill and practice builds speed on familiar routines but not the ability to tackle new problems. Insisting on one fixed process produces rigid thinking. Generating fear raises anxiety, which narrows attention and makes problem solving worse.
