Answer to Question 1
Answer: A
Explanation: Minority domination is the result of one or a few group members asserting their wills and opinions over other members of the group, distorting the decision-making process. Minority domination can diminish the legitimacy of a decision, causing observers to feel that the decision does not reflect a true group consensus. The other choices here do not match the description. Majority domination would have a large faction of a group taking over, while too much diversity would be the opposite of minority domination and might result in gridlock.
