Question 7: The answer is C) Working on a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle for the first time with a friend.

Explanation: A) Taking a walk at night and hearing a rustling sound in the bushes next to you - This involves automatic processing as it is a reflexive response to a potential threat. B) Engaging in a conversation in a busy cafeteria but hearing someone call out your favourite celebrity's name - This is an example of the "cocktail party effect," which is an automatic process where certain stimuli capture attention. C) Working on a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle for the first time with a friend - This is likely to involve controlled processing because it requires focused attention and problem-solving, especially if it's the first time. D) Riding a bike on a paved trail, after biking to school every day for the past 10 years - This is an automatic process due to the familiarity and routine nature of the activity.

Question 8: The answer is A) Resources for controlled processes are limited and can interfere with one another.

Explanation: A) Resources for controlled processes are limited and can interfere with one another - This is correct because focusing on finding a new address requires cognitive resources, and reducing other distractions helps allocate those resources effectively. B) Looking for an address requires more cognitive effort than listening to music - While true, it doesn't directly explain why turning down the radio helps. C) Listening to music and looking for an address are both automatic processes - This is incorrect because looking for an address is a controlled process. D) Turning down the music helps when you are trying to focus on an automatic process - This is incorrect because the focus is on a controlled process, not an automatic one.
