  • B.discouraging divergent thinking.
  • C.encouraging multiple perspectives and appreciating original ideas.
  • D.discouraging the students from taking risks and undertaking challenges.

Answer: C

The teacher can encourage creative learners by encouraging multiple perspectives and appreciating original ideas.

Creativity depends on divergent thinking, generating many different, original solutions. A classroom that welcomes several viewpoints, open-ended questions and unusual answers, and values originality, nurtures it.

Emphasising convergent thinking (one right answer), discouraging divergent thinking, and discouraging risk-taking and challenges all suppress the very qualities creative learners need.
