My mom asked me to help her with a project she is working... to make up for all those times she helped me with my projects... Well it turns out I'm a greedy child and do not really want to help her with this project (it is very unfun). Anyway here is one of the (tiny) ways that I helped her out:
Question Title: Objective 3.1, Pretest Question 3
Question Text: Narcissus asks his teacher if the person he sees when he looks into a lake is not another version of himself who is drowning in the lake. The teacher explains that the person Narcissus sees in the lake is actually a reflection of himself. Narcissus remembers that reflections occur in mirrors as well and then understands that the person he sees in the lake is not a real person at all. What level of understanding does Narcissus exhibit?
Hint: See the text section
