Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the semantic network model, concepts are organized in a hierarchical network, with more general concepts at higher levels and more specific concepts at lower levels. Therefore, it takes less time to verify a statement that connects a specific concept (salmon) to a more general concept (fish) than a statement that connects the same specific concept to an even more general concept (animal). Answer A would take longer than B, and answer C would take longer than both A and B. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.
