C2, 5 and 6 ✓ Correct
D4, 5 and 6
Correct answer: (C) 2, 5 and 6 — The field-dependent characteristics are 2, 5 and 6, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The field-dependent characteristics are 2, 5 and 6, so that is the answer.
★A field-dependent learner sees things as a whole and leans on people and context.
★So he relates concepts to his personal experience rather than to bare, isolated facts.
★He prefers to cooperate rather than compete, being socially oriented.
★He perceives the global aspects of concepts and materials, taking in the whole before the parts.
★Focusing on separate facts, formal task-only interaction and preferring competition belong to the field-independent style, so they are excluded.
