Decision Making Worksheet: Best Option

Critical thinking lesson 22: Choosing the best option · Set 719 · 40 questions

Thinking tip (Needs first): List the needs (money, purpose, time). Cross out every option that breaks one. The option left is the best. Too costly → out. Cheap but the wrong kind → out. A need is something you must have to be safe, healthy or able to learn; a want is nice to have.
