your friend, who hasnt taken this course, says, \freud was arrogant because he thought his theories were all correct; sexist because he focused only on men; and unscientific because he had no data to support his ideas.\ which one of the following statements is the best and most accurate response?
freud may have been sexist, but he wasnt unscientific. he collected data by talking with and observing his patients.
none of that really matters. the more important question is whether hes still relevant.
freud was definitely sexist and unscientific. he did very little research, and what he did included only men.
i never met freud personally, so i cant say whether i think he was arrogant or sexist, so lets talk about some data that support some of his ideas.

Explanation:

Freud's work was based on clinical data gathered through in-depth interviews and observations of his patients, so he was not unscientific. However, his theories did center primarily on male subjects and included gendered assumptions that are widely criticized as sexist today. The other options are either dismissive, overly absolute, or avoid addressing the core points of the friend's statement.

Answer:

Freud may have been sexist, but he wasn't unscientific. He collected data by talking with and observing his patients.
