Which term refers to a device or technique to aid memory?

• A. Mnemonic
• B. Trafficking
• C. Enshrined
• D. Equality

Answer: (A)

Memory aids use devices or techniques to help you remember information. A mnemonic is exactly that—a tool that makes memory easier by linking new material to something familiar, such as a catchy phrase, a rhyme, or a vivid image. This helps you retrieve the information when you need it, especially for lists or sequences. For example, using a mnemonic to remember the order of operations or a set of terms makes recall quicker. The other words don’t describe a memory aid: trafficking means illegal trade, enshrined means preserved or honored, and equality refers to fairness or sameness. So, the term that refers to a device or technique to aid memory is mnemonic.
