Question
A student is writing a research report about long-term memory for a science class. She found a trustworthy source. Read the source and the directions that follow.
Source 1: Study on Changing Memories
In this study on how memories are constructed participants were told a story about a girl whose family trip was cancelled. In the story the girl’s friend noticed how upset she was, so he threw a party for her on the day she would have left. After hearing the story half of the participants in the study were asked about how the girl must have felt. The other half, meanwhile, answered questions about her friend and why he threw the party.
One week later the study participants were asked to retell the story they heard. Most of the participants forgot some details and invented others. The participants that answered questions about the girl’s feelings were more likely to invent details about how sad she felt. However, participants who were asked about her friend were more likely to make up details about the plans he made for the party.

Source 2 : A History of the Brain
Years of research have shown that we ”rebuild” our memories, and to rebuild them we fill in the gaps with things that seem right. For example, we sometimes change memories to fit our personal beliefs. If I feel I am a caring person, I may remember being more helpful that I really was on a certain day. Lastly, we can be tricked into remembering something that did not happen if we once heard someone claim that it did.

Here are two sentences from Source 2 that support the information presented in Source 1:
1. "Years of research have shown that we 'rebuild' our memories, and to rebuild them we fill in the gaps with things that seem right."
2. "Lastly, we can be tricked into remembering something that did not happen if we once heard someone claim that it did."
These sentences connect to the findings from Source 1 about how participants in the study reconstructed their memories and sometimes invented details based on the questions they were asked.
