Answer 1

Being skeptical but not cynical, open but not gullible describes critical thinking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Being skeptical but not cynical, open but not gullible describes critical thinking. Critical thinking is the ability to identify and solve problems by gathering information, analyzing and evaluating evidence, and forming a judgment.
