    Comprehension and expression of ideas are two distinct functions of the brain and amongst these two functions, expression of an idea is ___________ in complexity.

    • Higher

    • Lower

    • Equal

    Correct Answer
    A. Higher
    Explanation
    The question is asking about the complexity of expression of an idea compared to comprehension. The correct answer is "higher" because expressing an idea involves not only understanding it but also effectively conveying it to others through language or other forms of communication. This process requires organizing thoughts, selecting appropriate words or gestures, and considering the audience's understanding. It is generally considered more challenging and complex than simply comprehending or understanding an idea. Therefore, the complexity of expression is higher than comprehension.

    Explanation
    Critical thinking is composed of two components: a set of skills for generating and processing information and beliefs, and the habit of using those skills to guide behavior. It is not simply about acquiring and retaining information, but rather about actively seeking and treating information in a particular way. It also goes beyond possessing a set of skills, as it requires the continuous use of those skills. Lastly, critical thinking is not just about exercising those skills without accepting their results, but rather about using them to guide behavior based on intellectual commitment.

    Whenever the brain is given a cue that an idea will have to be _________________________, the brain sequences the information differently and comprehension is automatically increased.

    Correct Answer
    expressed together with being understood and comprehended
    understood, comprehended and expressed
    Explanation
    Whenever the brain is given a cue that an idea will have to be expressed together with being understood and comprehended, the brain sequences the information differently and comprehension is automatically increased. This means that when the brain knows that an idea needs to be both expressed and understood, it processes the information in a more effective way, leading to better comprehension. On the other hand, when an idea is only understood, comprehended, and expressed without the cue of being expressed together with being understood and comprehended, the brain may not process the information as efficiently, potentially leading to lower comprehension.
