Explanation:

For the question "Does the narrator express support for individual intelligence or collective thinking?":

The quotation from "Anthem" by Ayn Rand uses "my mind" and "my will", emphasizing the individual's mental judgment and choice. Phrases like "the judgment of my mind" and "the choice of my will" show the narrator values individual thought and decision - making, so individual intelligence is supported.

• First option: The quotation does not mention spiritual beliefs, so this is incorrect.
• Second option: The line "the judgment of my mind is the only searchlight that can find the truth" shows the narrator believes his logical (from the mind's judgment) thinking is the way to truth, matching the emphasis on human reason/intelligence.
• Third option: The quotation focuses on individual judgment and will, not on contributing to society's knowledge, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

individual intelligence
