You have a high verbal/linguistic intelligence, so you have been assigned as a tour guide for a nature walk in the local park. You will be teaching tour groups about protecting the natural plant life in the park, so you have to have pictures of the plants that appear earlier and later in the year. You can choose an assistant to help you prepare and brief the pictures.    If the potential assistants possessed the intelligences listed in options A-D, which would be most helpful to you?
