Which of the following illustrates a modeling prompt?

Modeling prompts involve the instructor demonstrating the correct behavior for the learner to imitate. By showing the target action, the learner has a clear, observable example of what the response should look like and can copy it more accurately. This direct demonstration is what makes modeling effective as a prompting strategy, often with prompts faded over time as the learner becomes more independent. Verbal cues alone provide only a hint without a visible example to imitate. Providing physical assistance after an error falls under a different prompting approach (a physical or response prompt) aimed at guiding the next attempt, not showing the correct behavior to imitate. Offering reinforcement for incorrect responses is a reinforcement strategy and does not prompt the learner to perform the correct behavior.
