Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: B) Both the social loafing and free riding effects are based on one or more people doing less work than other group members because the accountability for the completed result is not theirs alone. Instead, others are willing to take on more work themselves to accomplish the work instead of holding the loafer accountable for completing their portion within the group.
