ANS: 1
The definitions listed in the text as well as definitions in Box 2-1 state that critical thinking
requires reasoning or reasoned thinking. Critical thinking is neither linear nor hierarchical. That
means that the steps involved in critical thinking are not necessarily sequential, where mastery of
one step is necessary to proceed to the next. Critical thinking is a purposeful, dynamic, analytic
process that contributes to reasoned decisions and sound contextual judgments.
