I agree with you on #1, but not on #2 ... and I'm not sure about #3. What does your text say about those 4 categories (the 4 choices) for #3?

For question 1, the correct answer is actually option C. To determine the answer, you can break down the question and the provided options. The question asks what "application" means in the context of learning. Option C suggests using the knowledge learned to understand actual situations, which aligns with the concept of applying knowledge. The other options – memorizing concepts, judging merit or value, and breaking down ideas – do not directly refer to the act of applying knowledge.
For question 2, the correct answer is option B. To arrive at this answer, it helps to understand Bloom's taxonomy, which categorizes levels of thinking skills. Evaluation is considered a higher-order critical thinking skill because it involves making judgments, analyzing information, and synthesizing ideas, while lower-order critical thinking skills involve simpler cognitive processes like remembering or understanding. The other options – lower-order critical thinking skill, criteria for judging a course, and stage in the problem-solving process – do not accurately describe evaluation in Bloom's taxonomy.
For question 3, the correct answer is actually option B. To determine the answer, you need to understand the stages in the problem-solving process. The question presents a dilemma between applying for a job or going for an internship, suggesting the need to implement a plan of action. This aligns with option B - implementing a plan of action. The other options, gathering information, interpreting information, and defining a problem, do not accurately describe the stage involved in deciding between applying for a job or going for an internship.
