Read the paragraph and answer the questions following it.
Human beings often mistake familiarity for truth. Ideas that are repeated frequently, whether in political discourse, social media, or everyday conversation, gradually acquire an appearance of credibility merely because they have become familiar. This psychological tendency is particularly consequential in an environment saturated with information, where individuals are constantly exposed to claims that they lack the time or inclination to scrutinize. The abundance of information, paradoxically, may therefore weaken rather than strengthen rational judgment if it encourages passive acceptance instead of critical evaluation. Genuine intellectual independence requires more than access to diverse sources; it demands the willingness to question one's own assumptions, examine contradictory evidence, and revise one's conclusions when circumstances warrant it. The intellectually mature individual is consequently not one who possesses an opinion on every issue, but one who understands the provisional nature of knowledge.
