Understand the context: William is following a routine or sequence of actions upon waking up and getting ready for class.
Identify the concept of a 'script' in psychology: A script is a type of schema that involves a sequence of expected behaviors for a given situation, like a morning routine.
Differentiate between the options: An 'algorithm' is a step-by-step procedure for calculations, a 'prototype' is a mental image or best example of a category, and a 'natural concept' is a mental grouping of similar objects, events, or people.
Relate the concept of a 'script' to William's situation: Consider how a script applies to daily routines, such as waking up and preparing for class, which involves a predictable sequence of actions.
Conclude that William is likely following a 'script' as it best describes the structured routine he follows in the morning.
