Answer 1

The correct answer is letter D

Critical thinking involves an intentional judgment, in the sense of reflecting on what to believe or how to react to a thorough examination, to an experience, to an oral or textual manifestation, and even to other people's proposals. It is also linked to the definition of the content and value of the observation object.

With regard to a certain conclusion or reasoning, this thought assesses whether there is an appropriate reason for accepting the thesis as something authentic. Fisher and Scriven scholars argue that critical thinking is a competent and agile understanding of observations, exposures, knowledge and discussions.
