It has been suggested by psychologists that giftedness from the teachers' point of view depends on a combination of high _____, high creativity and high _____.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → ability, commitment
Psychologists have suggested that giftedness from the teachers’ point of view depends on a combination of high ability, high creativity and high commitment. With creativity already given in the middle, the two blanks are ability and commitment.
Option (1) intelligence, ability — Incorrect. High ability fits, but in the first blank, and the third part of the combination is commitment, which this option leaves out.
Option (2) ability, commitment — Correct. Both blanks match the three parts: high ability, high creativity and high commitment.
Option (3) ability, emotional intelligence — Incorrect. Emotional intelligence is a set of skills for appraising, expressing and regulating emotions, the feeling side of intelligence. It is not one of the three parts of giftedness from the teachers’ point of view.
Option (4) talent, ability — Incorrect. Talent is a narrower term than giftedness: remarkable ability in a specific field. The combination also needs commitment, which is missing here.

It is the feeling side of intelligence.…” |
