Question

Which of the following is true? (1 point)
Biased thinking promotes scientific ideas.
Open-mindedness restricts scientific thinking.
Creativity fosters scientific discovery.
Skepticism inhibits scientific exploration.

Answer 1

I would say the answer is C.

Creativity fosters scientific discovery.

Answer A is wrong Because we all know Biased thinking in science is a VERY BAD thing! >_< And demotes scientific ideas rather than promoting it.

Answer B is wrong because Open-mindedness in since is a GOOD thing. And allows scientific thinking. Scientist have to take in account so many things, they can not be biased! (Again that goes back to the first possible answer.)

Answer D is wrong because it suggests that skepticism (i.e. doubting/questioning things) is bad for science. Skepticism is actually a really important part of science, because you can't have progress if nobody questions old ideas. So there would be NO PROGRESS.

:) Hope that helped.
