Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Divergent thinking is thinking that is creative, out of the box, used for problem solving and creativity (e.g., uncommon uses for objects such as a garage for matchbox cars from a cereal box or imagining what would happen if ).
Convergent thinking focuses on the standard, accepted ways of looking at things (e.g., rubber bands are to hold stacks of paper together, knives are for cutting).
