Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: C) Social proof persuaded you the alarm did not signal danger. When the ambiguous alert sounded, other people around you didn't change their behavior, so you were persuaded that there was no need to change your behavior in response to the alarm. You relied on the actions of others to shape your own behavior.

Answer to Question 2

B
