Answer:

Critical thinking

Explanation:

Critical thinking is a process of deep analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of facts and evidence that will lead to the formation of well-thought jugdement.

In this case, Christina is not analysing in a critical way because she believes the first thing she hears/reads without evaluating the sources, evidence, and facts that lie behind the claim that "the consumption of orange juice triggers hyperactivity in children."

In order to form a judgement, she would have done research that provides evidence to this claim to actually accept it.

Therefore, the correct answer would be: Christima was NOT demonstrating <u>critical</u> thinking.

b.paleo Indians relied less on hunting big animals and more on fishing and gathering food
- this is possible ! a warmer climate would mean that there would be more possibility to fish or gather food, which would mean that people didn't have to hunt - and they would not want to hunt big animals, as it's dangerous.

c.paleo Indians faced food shortages that resulted in a lower population
-no, a warmer climate would mean more, not less, food

d.paleo Indians lost land to rising sea level's</span>
-no, they still had a lot of land.
