Question

Daniel makes dinner by looking at his ingredients and then combining them into a meal. Leticia makes dinner by deciding on the meal and then selecting the ingredients. Daniel is cooking in a ______ manner, and Leticia is cooking in a ______ manner.
Select one:
a. bottom-up; top-down
b. bottom-up; bottom-up
c. top-down; bottom-up
d. top-down; top-down

Answer 1

Bottom up refers to when there is a progression from individual elements to the whole. Top-down refers to when clarity is uncertain that gives a vague stimulus. Applying this concept to Daniel's way of cooking a meal and Leticia's, we can conclude that since Daniel makes dinner by looking at his ingredients and then combining them into a meal, he is cooking in a bottom-up manner. Leticia on the other hand makes dinner by deciding on the meal and then selecting the ingredients. Thus she is cooking in a top down manner.

Thus, the correct answer is option, A.
