C5, 3, 2, 1, 4 ✓ Correct

D1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Correct answer: (C) 5, 3, 2, 1, 4

Explanation

The self-regulated learning cycle runs analysing the task, setting goals, devising plans, enacting tactics, then regulating learning.

Analysing the task (5) comes first, to understand its demands.

Setting goals (3) follows, defining what is to be achieved.

Devising plans (2) then maps strategies to reach the goals.

Enacting tactics and strategies (1) puts the plans into action.

Regulating learning (4) monitors and adjusts progress last.

Zimmerman's model frames self-regulation as forethought, performance and self-reflection phases.
