In which situation has the student set a task boundary to maintain focus?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Keeping only one subject and a fixed practice goal at a time
Attention is easier to maintain when the task is clearly defined and competing demands are limited. Working on one subject with a specific practice target gives the mind a manageable focus and makes completion observable. Opening many subjects, switching constantly, or sitting without a goal increases distraction and weakens sustained attention. Thus, A shows effective task boundary-setting.
