  • A.encourages multiple answers; is fixed on one correct solution
  • B.is fixed on one correct solution; encourages multiple answers
  • C.Promotes mathematical abilities; promotes verbal abilities
  • D.Promotes verbal abilities; promotes mathematical abilities

Answer: A

The answer is encourages multiple answers; is fixed on one correct solution.

J.P. Guilford distinguished divergent thinking, which generates many possible ideas or solutions to an open problem and is linked with creativity, from convergent thinking, which narrows down to the single best or correct answer, as in most textbook exercises.

The second option reverses the two. Neither kind of thinking is tied to mathematical or verbal ability, so the last two options are wrong.
