Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inert knowledge refers to knowledge that a person has but is unable to apply to new or different situations. It is characterized by the inability to transfer concepts across contexts (A), learning facts in isolation without connecting them to broader concepts or situations (C), and not recognizing when to apply known concepts to new problems (D). Option B, relating new material to something learned previously, is actually a strategy to prevent inert knowledge by integrating new information with existing knowledge, making it more applicable and accessible in various contexts.
