Answer:

The correct answer is:

false (d)

Explanation:

From the evidences highlighted in the question, it is clear that the training group that saw the video, understood and appreciated Effective Time Management more than the other group because of the following reasons:

1. The group that watched the video, performed better in the test for knowledge and ability to apply the concepts covered during each type of time management instruction. This shows that they had better understanding of the content of the material in the video than their counterparts that read the book, as it reflected in their better performance, not just in a particular aspect of the test, but in all aspect of the test. So their performance on the test unarguably shows their understanding Effective Time Management.

2. we are also told that some members of the group that watched the video became so interested that they went ahead willingly to read the book. This shows an appreciation for the concept of Effective Time Management, because their interest was aroused in what they saw in the video, and needed to get more, so they opted for the book.
