ANSWERST Light a lighter. T Pronounce the French word manger. I Select an appropriate product for a customer. I Respond to a complaint. T Place a specific component in the motherboard. T Tie a reef knot. Items 1, 2, 5, and 6 are all tasks for training (reproduce without variation). Items 3 and 4 require instruction because each new customer will be different, as will each complaint. Those actions demand generalization of learning and adaptation of behaviors.
