SUGGESTED ANSWER TO QUESTION 1-1(c)

Monroe was driving past an intersection at which he had almost been killed in a head-on collision ten years earlier. Suddenly, he heard his three-year-old son say, "crash, bang, boom" and then the words, "I'm dead." Monroe was shocked because no one had ever told his son about his near-fatal car accident.

In the following, two possible explanations are mentioned. You may have thought of other possibilities.

It is possible that Monroe's son had a psychic experience that caused him to "see" the accident that his father had been in. On the other hand, there are more natural possibilities. It could have been simply a coincidence. For example, it is very likely that the boy has seen car accidents on television, or perhaps even in real life. He may have been remembering one of these incidents at the same time that they were passing the intersection.
