Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Timothy paid attention to the safety rules discussed by the officer, which were relevant to the purpose of the visit. The fact that the officer brought colorful balloons and jars of bubbles does not necessarily make them salient or superfluous to the message being conveyed. Habituating refers to becoming accustomed to something through repeated exposure, which does not apply in this situation.
