b. impression.
c. concept.
d. mental picture.
The term used for generalizedmental image of an object, from the following options.
Definition
Impression
Concept
Mental picture
Answer to Problem 1AC
Solution:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An abstract idea about anything is called concept. The concept can be based on an object, a theorem or a phenomenon.
Explanation:
Reason for the correct option:
To properly understand the things in nature, a rough idea or a plan is needed about that thing. Everything can’t just be understood by just seeing the object. This rough idea or a generalized mental image helps to understand the object or phenomenon properly and is called a concept.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Reason for the incorrect options:
Option (a) is incorrect because definition is just a statement of an object or phenomenon. It doesn’t give a mental picture of the object. Hence, it is incorrect.
Option (b) is incorrect because the impression is a feeling or opinion about something or someone with a little information about it. So, it also doesn’t require our meet of having a rough image of the object. Hence, it is incorrect.
Option (d) is incorrect because a mental picture can be of any object in a rough way, like the image of a lion is a mental picture. But to gain information from the image, it should be specific and generalized. Hence, it is incorrect.
Hence, options (a), (b) and (d) are incorrect.
Conclusion:
Concept is the generalized image of an object in one’s mind by which he/she gains information about the object.
