2. Match the critical thinking trap with the correct trap definition.

This is the belief that truth is acquired not through reasoning and inquiry but, rather, through some predetermined, nonintellectual faith. With this trap, for example, people might lack intellectual responsibility due to personal religious reasons, which they let guide their thinking instead of critical thinking.
