Critical thinking lesson 24: Final test: critical thinking and problem solving · Set 205 · 40 questions

Thinking tip (Question, check, reason, decide): Find the topic of the question: questions (lessons 1–5), evidence (7–11), reasoning (13–17) or decisions (19–23). Use that lesson’s tip and read every option before you choose. If a fact is missing, say “not enough info”; if the rule does not decide it, say “can’t tell”; compare per day, not totals.
