A new app promises to reduce screen time by 25%. A critical thinker would ask:
Correct answer: A. What was the average screen time before and after using the app?
- A. What was the average screen time before and after using the app?
- B. Does the app offer a dark mode feature?
- C. What is the design or color of the app icon?
- D. Is the app available on Android devices?
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: A critical thinker would ask about the average screen time before and after using the app to assess if the claim of a 25% reduction is substantiated. This question seeks evidence and measurement, which are crucial in evaluating the validity of the app's promise. The other options (B, C, and D) focus on features and availability that do not directly pertain to the app's claim about reducing screen time, making them irrelevant to a critical assessment of the app's effectiveness.

About Critical Thinking
Critical thinking examines how conclusions follow from evidence, including claims, assumptions, arguments, inferences and relevant facts. Questions ask you to identify hidden assumptions, distinguish strong from weak evidence, assess cause and effect, recognise common reasoning errors, and decide which statement strengthens or weakens an argument.
