D (page 117) Possible answers:

1. The student could have spoken to other people, such as friends, family members, or even a professor, about the problem. The student

could also have tried to come up with a solution without asking for help from others.

2. The process is actually not specific to design; it is just a general process for coming up with a good idea. As a result, it is useful in a variety of wide situations. For example, for choosing where to go on vacation, the “problem” is where to go; the “solutions” are possible destinations; the “design” is the final choice; the “user feedback” is

what other people who will go on the vacation think about that final choice; the “redesign” is coming up with an alternative location if the

original choice is not popular. The process could be adapted in a similar way for deciding what clothes to wear or what to write.
