You are in a group that feels very cohesive,so cohesive that it seems to agree readily at every step of project,without any lengthy discussion or conflicy.Sometimes you don't agree with decisions,but you do not say anything.Which of the following is the MOST probable situation?
a)One person in the group has such good ideas that no one can disagree with that person
b)No one in the group can think of any really good reasons NOT to adopt the ready-made decision
c) Members of the group value agreement so much that dissenters feel incapable of speaking out.
d)The decisions made are bed,but no one relly cares
IS B CORRECT ANSWER?THANK YOU:)))
Groups vary a lot, but your answer is probably best.
THANK YOU MS.SUE:))))
You're welcome, Vedrana. :-)
This one of the rare situations when I disagree with Ms.Sue. There is strong social pressure to agree with the group, even if individuals have different ideas. There is a phenomenon called groupthink that relates to this question.

Based on the information provided, option c) "Members of the group value agreement so much that dissenters feel incapable of speaking out." seems to be the most probable situation.
In this scenario, the reason for the group's apparent cohesion is not necessarily because one person has such good ideas (option a), or because the decisions made are bad and no one cares (option d). Additionally, it is not explicitly stated that there are no good reasons to disagree (option b). Instead, it is more likely that the group prioritizes agreement to such an extent that dissenters feel unable to voice their opinions.
Remember that decision-making within a cohesive group can vary based on multiple factors. However, based on the context provided, option c) appears to be the closest match.
