Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Groupthink seeks fast solutions with little critical thinking or input from group members. People may feel invulnerable, ignore negative feedback, stereotype differing views as misinformed, and use peer pressure to suppress doubters. People conform rather than challenge ideas, and poor decisions can result.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Although the ultimate responsibility for a decision is the top administrator's, that burden can be shared through the use of committees and shared governance councils.
