Answer 1

Answer:

d. Arthur Dobrin's eight questions are based on the assumption that there is sufficient time for the degree of contemplation that such questions require.

Explanation:

Arthur Dobrin eight questions are

(1) What are the facts?

(2) What can you guess about the facts you don’t know?

(3) What do the facts mean?

(4) What does the problem look like through the eyes of the people involved?

(5) What will happen if you choose one thing rather than another?

(6) What do your feelings tell you?

(7) What will you think of yourself if you decide on thing or another?

(8) Can you explain and justify your decision to others?

Therefore:

It is not Option A, because Option A which deals with the issue of feelings is reflected in Question 6 and 7.

It is not Option B, because Option B deals with issue of availability of alternatives which is reflected in question 5

It is not Option C, because Option C deals with issue of unavailability of adequate information, which is reflected in question 2

Hence, the correct answer is OPTION D, because, the assumption that there is sufficient time for degree of contemplation is not present in the eight questions of Arthur Dobrin.
