Final answer:
The words provided in the question do not directly depict someone who is open to differences. The term 'Being' might be the closest option but still doesn't fully capture the proactive aspect of openness. The question might contain a typo or be misleading due to the absence of a more precise term like 'tolerant' or 'open-minded.' The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question, "Which of the following words best describes someone who is open to differences?" is asking us to identify a characteristic trait that reflects being receptive to diversity and different perspectives. The options given are A) Knowing B) Being C) Doing D) Independent. None of these words inherently describe openness to differences in the way we might think of someone being tolerant or inclusive. However, "Being" is the closest option, as someone who is simply 'being' is existing or living, which does not necessarily capture the proactive quality of openness to differences. On the other hand, 'knowing' suggests a state of awareness or understanding, 'doing' implies action without specifying what type, and 'independent' indicates self-reliance without necessarily involving openness to diversity.
Therefore, while none of the choices perfectly match the notion of openness to differences, the question itself might be misleading or have a typo because typically one would expect to see a word like 'tolerant' or 'open-minded' as an option for this description. It's important to address potential issues like this and provide additional context to help students understand the concept of open-mindedness beyond the options presented in the question.
