C.Visual/spatial intelligence D.Yes. because I have to study art for a long time, so draw a picture to give a example is very easy for me to understand. And also most of the time before I do everything, i will have a plan and think about about how to do it, why do it and so on. #3 I think become a master student means you know the different between the learn and taught.
