Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each critical thinking step (identify problem, define goal, plan, act, reflect) and match with the examples:

Step 1 (Identify the problem):

The problem is a conflict: "You want a later curfew, but your parents don’t agree" (option e). So Step 1 ↔ e.

Step 2 (Define the goal):

The specific goal is "You want your curfew to be 11 pm" (option b). So Step 2 ↔ b.

Step 3 (Plan the action):

Planning how to show responsibility: "You write down how you will show your parents you are responsible and trustworthy" (option a). So Step 3 ↔ a.

Step 4 (Act on the plan):

Taking action: "You act responsible and trustworthy by finishing your chores, and showing up on time" (option d). So Step 4 ↔ d.

Step 5 (Reflect on the outcome):

Reflecting on what worked: "Reflect on what went well and what didn’t in your plan to persuade your parents" (option c). So Step 5 ↔ c.

Answer:

1. e
2. b
3. a
