Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Confidence is feeling certain about one's ability to accomplish a goal. The student stating I'm ready indicates this. Risk taking involves being willing to try new ideas. Curiosity is being motivated to achieve and asking why. Perseverance is staying determined to work until the goal is achieved

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Validation is the process of gathering information to determine whether the information or data collected are factual and true. Examining how information is organized and given meaning guides the interpretation of the information. Interpretations must be differentiated from facts and evidence because they are based on personal conceptions, experiences, and perspective. Intuition is the feeling that you know something without specific evidence. The terms thinking and reasoning are often used synonymously, although reasoning is more formal because it usually is aimed at finding answers, providing explanations, and forming conclusions.
