• All of the above
• None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Studying history for 1 hour followed by 1 hour of studying math followed by an hour of studying Spanish.

Interleaving refers to a learning strategy where different topics or subjects are studied in a mixed rather than a blocked format. In this case, studying history, math, and Spanish in alternating time blocks is an example of interleaving. The other options describe more spaced practice or blocked study rather than interleaving different subjects.
