Explanation
★The characteristics that shape the learner's perspective are 1, 3 and 4, so that is the answer.
★The learner's own commitment governs how seriously and deeply he engages with the course.
★The learner's prior knowledge sets the base on which the new subject is understood and viewed.
★The learner's skill in the concerned area shapes how confidently he approaches the study.
