A{'text': 'Comprehension', 'label': 'A'}
B{'text': 'Epistemic', 'label': 'B'}
C{'text': 'Reference', 'label': 'C'}
D{'text': 'Relational and Significant', 'label': 'D'}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. {'text': 'Epistemic', 'label': 'B'}
1. NCF 2005 §2.5 (Layers of understanding box, p. 28) lists four layers: Comprehension, Reference, Epistemic, and Relational and Significant.
2. The epistemic layer is defined exactly as 'understanding what counts as evidence, what makes a statement true, how to seek evidence and judge truth.'
3. Comprehension is about language; Reference is about what terms refer to; Relational and Significant is about web-of-meaning between concepts.
