Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: Of the choices, only the electronic meeting combines the anonymous aspect of nominal group technique with computer technology. In an electronic meeting, participants type in comments without identifying themselves, thus ensuring that all comments will be taken on an equal basis. A personal meeting, virtual meeting, or preliminary meeting cannot supply the anonymity of an electronic meeting, so these three choices are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: Videoconferencing is a face-to-face encounter, so it does not provide anonymous expression of opinions, reduce groupthink, or reduce minority domination. What videoconferencing does do is save on travel and time. Individuals thousands of miles away can meet face-to-face without the expenditure of money and time it would take to meet in person. This makes savings on travel and time the correct response.
