Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

The Critical Faculty is the most potent one in the human make-up. Its pervasiveness and force have not properly been recognized because like breathing, it is so much a part and parcel of human activity. The difference between a simpleton and an intelligent man, according to the man who is convinced that he is of the latter category, is that the former wholeheartedly accept all things that he sees and hears while the latter never admit anything except after a most searching scrutiny. He imagines the intelligence to be a sieve of closely woven mesh through which noting but the finest can pass.

The critical sense is essential for keeping social transactions in a warm state. Otherwise, life would become very dull and goody-goody. The critical faculty is responsible for a lot of give and take in life. It increases our awareness of our surroundings; it sounds dignified no doubt, but is seems also to mean that we can watch someone else’s back better than our own! We never know our own defects till they are pointed out to us, and even then we need not accept them. We always question the bona fides of the man who tells us unpleasant facts. On the surface, it is all very well to say. ‘I want an honest criticism; that will help me, not blind compliments.’ I wish people would mean it.
