When maria’s friend mentioned an upcoming concert, maria quickly thought about the new cd that was supposed to come out that day. this connection that occurred as a result of the word “concert” is an example of a a. semantic network b. hierarchy c. concept d. schema

option A) semantic network.

Justification:

Semantic network means the connection that is made due to the similarity or some aspect in coomon of concepts.

In this case, the word concert meant music and so Maria when thought heard her friend talking about concert evoked the music on the CD that she likely wanted to listen to.

This is, both concepts concert and CD include playing music and in virtue of that one lead to the other in Maria´s mind.

One splits the atoms and molecules  the other combines them
