c. came from directly in front of her.
d. came from either the right or left side.

Answer 1

1. A
2. D
3. C

ETA - Here's the explanations:
1. An operational definition provides specifics as to how something is going to be defined for the purpose of an experiment. B, C, & D are definitions, but you can't operationalize them. Only A provides the specifics - 22 hours without eating.
2. Case study is description of a specific case. If you studied one person at the airport in depth, it might qualify. Correlational would be comparing two events to see if there is a relationship. Self-report survey - questions asked about a person to be answered by the person. Going somewhere to observe and record is naturalistic observation.
3. We have an ear on each side of our head to help us localize sound. So if the sound is directly in front of us, it's going to be the same distance from each ear and harder to localize. Pitch and continuous vs discrete are irrelevant. Right or left side would make it easier to localize.
