Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mother is saying that Marisa has knowledge and academic skills (book smarts), but may struggle with applying that knowledge in practical situations (common sense). This suggests that Marisa is high in analytical intelligence (which involves problem-solving, abstract thinking, and logical reasoning), but may be lower in practical intelligence (which involves the ability to adapt to new situations, read social cues, and navigate real-world problems). Therefore, option C is the best choice. Option D is incorrect because the mother implies that Marisa's practical intelligence is lacking, despite her academic strengths. Option A and B are also incorrect because they do not account for the mother's comment about Marisa's lack of common sense.
