12.
February and feline

Answer 3

Thank you for your follow-up.

For question 7, I see that you provided a specific answer about rubrics:

7. How do rubrics increase learning? B (Rubrics give students the tools to “grade” their own and others’ assignments)

This is indeed a valid answer, but the most complete answer is still C (Both of these) as rubrics can provide both grading tools and important details about assignments. However, if your context specifies focusing only on self-assessment, then B would apply.

For question 12, you mentioned:

12. The guidewords for the word "feign" are B (February and feline)

This also depends on the specific dictionary being referred to for guidewords, but typically the guidewords are those that are alphabetically closest to the word in a dictionary, and they are often not words related to the meaning of "feign."

If you need further clarification or assistance on any of these points, please let me know!
