    Retrieval practice works through effortful recall, so a closed-book quiz can teach as well as measure.

  2. Money-and-life scenario: What term means money received from work, allowance, or other sources?

    Subscriptions renew until canceled under their terms, making recurring charges important to review regularly.

    Gross pay appears before payroll deductions and is therefore larger than net pay for most workers.

  5. Digital-life scenario: What system predicts and ranks content a user may want to see?

  2. Digital-life scenario: What synthetic media convincingly imitates a real person’s appearance or voice?
