Answer:

She is most likely to remember the animals at the beginning of the list.

Step-by-step explanation:

This phenomenon is related to the serial-position effect, which states that the position of the items in a list influence the way we remember them. More specifically, we remember the items at the beginning best; if it's recent, we will remember the last ones (called the recency effect); and we will probably have more difficulty remembering the items in the middle.
