The following are the choices to this question:

A. shallow

B. intermediate

C. deep

D. personal

The answer to this item is letter C. deep. There are three levels of processing: deep. shallow and intermediate.

Depth, in Kevin's case means how he encoded the word and rehearsed information out of the word. Deep level involves analysis on the semantics for deeper information.
