Andres Young · Answer 1

The students presented with the dis-fluent font.

Explanation:

As per the research conducted by Alter and his colleagues (2007, 2013), the group of students that we're more likely to provide the correct answers are the students who were presented with hard-to-read or dis-fluent font and not the students who were presented with the readable or fluent font, Because the students with dis-fluent font finds difficulty while reading, that allowed them to get more time to process the information.
