Justine was interested in learning how to play the piano. before she was allowed to even play the piano, she has had to learn about the parts of the piano, and how to read notes. what stage of ability development is justine at?

a.

novice

b.

apprentice

c.

master

d.

mentor

The correct answer is A. Novice

Explanation:

The process of learning or acquiring different knowledge and skills related to a specific subject usually implies different stages of learning or stage of ability development such as novice, mentor or apprentice. The first stage is the novice, in this, the individual is just beginning with the process of learning and because of this it is common in this stage learning is related to the basics such as concepts or ideas rather than related to performing a certain task. This is the stage in the case of Justine because she has not learned anything before and also she is beginning from the basics before she is allowed to play the piano which is her focus.

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
