Answer 1

Answer:

In this case, social science is a field which should equip children with,

option a, i.e. the ability to think critically.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "A. the ability to think critically".

This is because, social science puts before the eyes the students the real scenario of the society, wherein the various social flaws can be understood and interpreted by the students on the basis of their independent and critical thinking. This is why, social science should equip children with the ability to question every objectionable social norm and practices of the society.
