A critical thinker should avoid using metaphorical, proverbial, and other types of symbol language without parenthesis since they can lead to mistakes and misunderstandings, therefore contradicting the purpose for which they were intended.

<h3>What are the scenarios that exemplify the above?</h3>

Metaphor:

"Faster than horses, they ran" This could be used in a text that speaks about cars. The parenthesis shows that they are not to be taken literarily.

Proverb:

"A stich in time saves nine" why not start on time?

Symbolic language:

"When in need, sow a seed".

As can be seen, these statements should not be jumbled up with the rest of the content. As a result, they should be separated by a bracket.
