Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Sachs (1967), people are more likely to remember the general meaning or gist of an event rather than the exact wording. This is because our memory tends to prioritize the main idea or concept, rather than the specific details. Therefore, option A, recalling the general gist of what was said, is the most likely outcome.
