The word-superiority effect refers to the phenomenon where letters presented within words are recognized more accurately and faster than when presented alone. To test this effect, an experiment would involve measuring how quickly a participant can identify a letter presented as part of a word compared to when it is presented alone. Therefore, choice A, which involves measuring the time it takes to identify a letter in a word or on its own, is the best choice.
