What strengthens our beliefs by seeking out information that supports them?

  1. Preventing

  2. Over-Power

  3. Filtering

  4. Radar

The correct answer is: Radar

Explanation An explanation for why the other answer options are incorrect: Option A, preventing, does not have any context in relation to beliefs and seeking information. Option B, over-power, is not a commonly used or recognized term in reference to strengthening beliefs. Option C, filtering, may seem like a potentially correct answer, but it could be misleading as it suggests actively limiting or discarding information that contradicts our beliefs, which does not necessarily strengthen beliefs. Option D, radar, is the most accurate answer as it relates to actively seeking out information, much like a radar, that confirms or supports our beliefs, thus strengthening them.
