Critical thinking lesson 20: Pros and cons · Set 528 · 40 questions

Thinking tip (See both sides): Pro = a good point of a choice; con = a bad point. Pet dog: a loyal friend (pro); vet visits cost money (con). Decision table: score each option out of 5 for each need and add the row. Lake: fun 5 + shade 1 + nearness 5 = 11. Weigh how big each point is — safety matters more than a small saving.
