true

Explanation:

Question 13

Long - term goals are not always simple to identify. They can be complex, involving multiple factors, long - term planning, and consideration of various uncertainties. So the statement "Long - term goals are fairly simple to identify" is false.

• Option a: "Intelligent" is a broad term and does not specifically refer to someone with the described understanding, perspective, and abilities.
• Option b: "Perceptive" mainly refers to the ability to notice or understand things quickly, not the comprehensive set of abilities described.
• Option c: A critical thinker is someone who has a knowledgeable understanding of the world, a thoughtful perspective on ideas and issues, and sophisticated thinking and language abilities.
• Option d: "Cognitively superior" is a more comparative and less precise term for the described set of abilities.

According to Langer's concept, mindlessness is characterized by routinized conformity and passive learning, where people act out of habit without much thought. So the statement "Routinized conformity and passive learning are what Langer calls mindlessness" is true.
