Problem Solving Activity The following problem solving assessment is presented in a multiple-choice format. Each choice
should be considered individually and an argument should be written for accepting or rejecting it. Since
the problem has one best answer, there should be one argument for acceptance and four for rejection
For each response, you must first state whether you are accepting or rejecting that statement. Then,
you must write a detailed explanation why you accept or reject each of the choices.
