Explanation:

First Question (Overcoming VOC):

To overcome Voice of Criticism (VOC), we analyze each option:

• Option a: Ignoring self - criticism and not seeking independent confirmation is not a good strategy as it lacks validation.
• Option b: Reminding ourselves of flaws and listening to self - judgment would reinforce VOC, not overcome it.
• Option c: Becoming aware of VOC, restating judgment accurately, and being tough with VOC are valid strategies to confront and overcome self - criticism.
• Option d: Listening to and internalizing VOC would worsen the problem.

• A Question of Fact seeks objective, verifiable information about what is (like steps in a process).
• A Question of Evaluation assesses value (e.g., is this good/bad), and a Question of Interpretation deals with meaning (e.g., what does this symbol mean). The question “What are the steps in the decision - making process?” is asking for factual, step - by - step information.

Answer:

c) Become aware of the VOC, restate the judgment more accurately, and get tough with the VOC.
