Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Because two heads are better than one, groups tend to identify more alternatives and consider more information before coming to a decision.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: When a group experiences groupthink, members do not freely express their opinions for fear of standing out and having to assume responsibility for their actions. Groupthink often results in bland, unimaginative decisions that fail because they are too timid.
