Question

17 multiple choice 1 point read the passage and: critical thinking is a skill that must be honed. when students engage with the humanities on an academic level by analyzing a piece of literature or critiquing a work of art, they learn to think critically by examining and evaluating complex ideas. this exposure to literature and art, along with philosophical thought, also stimulates the imagination. an imaginative student has an increased capacity for problem solving with the ability to generate creative solutions. (paragraph 2) which phrase provides context for the meaning of the word honed as it is used in this paragraph? ○ \learn to think critically\ ○ \critiquing a work of art\ ○ \on an academic level\ ○ \analyzing a piece of literature\

Explanation:

To find the context for "honed", we analyze the relationship between "honed" (implying developing a skill) and the options. The phrase "learn to think critically" shows the result of honing the skill of critical thinking, as engaging with humanities (like analyzing literature, critiquing art) leads to learning critical thinking, which is how the skill is developed (honed). The other options are examples of engaging with humanities, not the result of honing.

Answer:

A. "learn to think critically"
