Explanation:

Question 1

• "To improve handwriting skills" is incorrect as note - taking is not mainly for handwriting practice.
• "To avoid listening during lectures" is wrong because note - taking should complement listening, not replace it.
• "To enhance memory retention and understanding of material" is correct. Effective note - taking helps in organizing information, which in turn aids in remembering and understanding the content.
• "To fill up notebooks" is incorrect as note - taking has an educational purpose, not just to fill pages.

• The Sentence Method involves writing down each idea as a sentence, not dividing the paper into cues, notes, and summaries.
• The Charting Method is used for organizing information in a chart format, not the described sectioning.
• The Cornell Method specifically divides the paper into three sections: cues (or questions), notes, and a summary at the bottom.
• The Mapping Method is a visual - based method of note - taking with branches, not the sectioned format.

Answer:

C. To enhance memory retention and understanding of material
