Zander is trying to determine the correct answer on a multiple-choice test. He has eliminated two of the four answer options because they do not fit the question, and now he is trying to recall what he knows about the question. Which two parts of Zander’s brain are working to perform these operations?

The hippocampus helps retrieve and form memories, so it is involved as Zander recalls what he knows. The cerebrum supports conscious thinking, reasoning, and comparing choices, which he uses to eliminate answers that do not fit. Therefore, the correct choice is hippocampus and cerebrum.
