Question

question 10 (2.5 points) the famous newspaper journalist h. l. mencken once said, \to every complex question there is a simple answer—and its clever, neat, and wrong!\ what was mr. mencken referring to?

a) people seldom take the time to identify the problem.

b) many complex questions require complex answers.

c) most people are not critical thinkers.

d) people usually do a poor job of decision making.

Explanation:

The quote says that complex questions have simple answers that are wrong. This implies complex questions need more than simple answers. Option a is about identifying problems, not answering. Option c is about critical thinking in general, not the nature of answers. Option d is about decision - making, not answers. Option b states that many complex questions need complex answers, which matches the idea that simple answers to complex questions are wrong.

Answer:

b) Many complex questions require complex answers.
