Explanation:

Question 1

Socrates' "an unexamined life is not worth living" emphasizes self - reflection and critical thinking. Option a talks about using human capacity to think deeply and act intelligently to improve life's meaning, which aligns with the idea of an examined life. Option b is about living fully and new experiences, not self - examination. Option c focuses on financial wealth, not relevant to Socrates' idea. Option d is extreme and against the idea of following reasonable rules, not related to self - examination.

High - achievers are known to set specific, actionable goals rather than general ones like "I want to be happy". Option a is true as high - achievers plan steps to reach goals. Option b is true as low - achievers often don't plan for the future. Option d is true as successful goal - setters know plans can be flexible.

Answer:

a) Using our distinctive human capacity to think deeply and act intelligently improves the meaning of our lives.
