The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

a) Based on your understanding of critical thinking and memory, describe one flaw in Bruce's reasoning.

I consider that the problem Brice has is biased. It is not the professor's fault. The exam is well designed. The issue is the way Bruce is studying. Bruce can read four or five more times the questions, but if he does not understand the questions, the answers will never be correct. If he is not understanding, what he memorizes won't be correct.

B) Describe two possible explanations for Bruce's average performance.

Number one, he is not getting the right ideas of the question. If he is just memorizing the concepts, his brain maybe is not getting enough time to remember them at the moment of the examination.

The other issue is that he could believe that what he is understanding is correct, but his knowledge is limited to what he thinks is correct. This does not mean that he indeed has the right answers.

"The strength of the nation comes from the integrity of the home. "
baherus [9]

Answer:

It’s impossible to agree or disagree because the English translation of the Chinese original doesn’t lead to the same perceived interpretation.

The Chinese original refers to generational integrity and solidarity. It is not about ‘family’ in the ordinary Western sense of the word. The Chinese original abstracts the ‘family’ to non-family conceptualisations such as the state, the monarch, lordships, etc.

The quote is not really about ‘family.’

Virtually every Chinese person today understands what that quote is about, yet not many Westerners do. The translation ‘family’ should really have been ‘home,’ but home in the abstract sense.

The original was in the sense of solidarity and uniformity of the echelon of decision-makers in an organisation.

At the time of Confucius, the typical Chinese household had three or four generations of people living together.

Confucius was talking about the principle of the household decision-making defers to the seniors. In times of trouble and turmoil, this makes for solid reinforcement of uniformity of decisions, actions and assistance.

Explanation:

I hope it helped!
