Which statement demonstrates flexibility in thinking by changing plans when a better idea is proposed?

• A. Accepts idea to use tape instead of glue to fix the tear
• B. Suggests building on a hard surface when the structure keeps falling down
• C. Keeps to the original plan even when problems arise
• D. Finishes the project with no adjustments

Answer: (A)

Flexibility in thinking means being willing to change your approach when a better option is suggested and can improve the result. Accepting the idea to use tape instead of glue to fix the tear shows you’re evaluating alternatives and choosing the method that will likely work better in the moment. This demonstrates adaptability—you’re not locked into the original plan, you’re open to a suggested improvement and act on it. In contrast, sticking to the original plan despite problems or finishing without adjustments reflects rigidity, and proposing a different workspace doesn’t clearly show adopting a better idea to improve the outcome.
