Your professor hands you a piece of paper with the number 75 on it and tells you this is your current average in the class. Since this is your fourth year as a college student, you know you could work hard to bring that average up to a B by the end of the semester. This is ________

Respuesta :

Answer:

Knowledge

Explanation:

Knowledge could be defined as information, facts, skills gathered through experience or education. In the case above, the student has knowledge of how his "class average" works and so he "knows" that if he works hard enough, he can improve it to a B. However if he didn't have this knowledge, he probably would have started panicking and already think there isn't any hope of improving his average.

Question Options:

1) Data

2) Information

3) Knowledge

4) Wisdom

Answer: This is KNOWLEDGE.

Knowledge can be defined simply as the fact of knowing about something. This knowing can be acquired which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.

Now when the professor hands over the paper to the student, that is a form of acquiring knowledge by discovering.

All other options do not explain acquiring knowledge by their definitions.
