Answer 1

Answer:

option b .....................

Answer 2

b. irrelevant details

• "Abstraction is the process of filtering out ignoring the characteristics of patterns that we don't need in order to concentrate on those that we do."
• It is also the filtering out of irrelevant details.

• With the help of this, we create an idea of what we are trying to solve.
• Abstraction generally allows us to create a general idea of what the problem is and how to solve it.
• This process usually gives instructions for us to remove all specific detail, and any patterns that will not help us solve our problem.
• This helps us to form our idea of the problem. This idea is known as a ‘model’.
• If we don’t abstract properly we may end up with the wrong solution to the problem we are trying to solve.

• For example, if we didn’t abstract properly we might think that all cats have long tails and short fur.
• Having abstracted, we know that although cats have tails and fur, not all tails are long and not all fur is short.
• In this case, abstraction has helped us to form a clearer model of a cat.
