The car of a person who drives every day to work broke down, and the repairs are estimated to be very expensive. The commuter wants to save money and protect the environment. Which question asked by the commuter reflects divergent thinking? "How much would I save if I took the bus to work instead of fixing the car?" "What alternatives do I have to get to work if I don't fix my car?" "Between bus, train, and car, which mode of transportation takes the least amount of time to get to work?" "Would taking the commuter train be better for the environment than driving?"
