Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Directed thinking is purposeful and outcome oriented. Negative thinking occurs when the mind is stuck on negative thoughts and blocks worthwhile thinking. Ruminative thinking occurs when the same situation or scene is replayed in the mind over and over, without reaching an outcome. Nonfocused thinking occurs when the brain is engaged out of habit, without much conscious thought.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Critical thinking requires the individual to have access to all necessary information. This is accomplished by collecting and verifying data in an organized way, arranging data in an organized way, looking for gaps in information, and then proceeding with data analysis.
