Which of the following actions could be described as "ascertaining"?

  1. Ignoring feedback from others

  2. Confirming details before making a decision

  3. Avoiding responsibility for outcomes

  4. Disregarding evidence

The correct answer is: Confirming details before making a decision

Ascertaining refers to the process of finding out or determining something with certainty. This often involves gathering information, confirming details, or validating facts before reaching a conclusion or making a decision. In this context, confirming details before making a decision embodies the essence of ascertaining because it reflects a thoughtful approach to ensuring that all necessary information has been properly evaluated. The other actions described do not align with the concept of ascertaining because they involve ignoring or avoiding necessary information or responsibilities, which is contrary to the goal of seeking clarity and understanding.
