Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: In an additive task, the group performance depends on the sum of individual performances, so the more members, the better.
Rationale 2: In a disjunctive task, the group succeeds if one member succeeds, so more members give a better chance for one person to succeed.
Rationale 3: A divisible task is one that can be broken down into subtasks with division of labor, so more people provide a greater opportunity for specialization and interdependence in performing the task.
Rationale 4: In a conjunctive task, the group succeeds only if all of the members succeed, so it makes more sense to have fewer members on the team. However, the members should be highly qualified for the work.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Before changing or terminating a contract, one party must notify the other of its intent to do so 90 days prior to the contract expiration date.
Rationale 2: Ratification is the process by which employees approve a contract.
Rationale 3: Cessation is not related to union membership.
Rationale 4: A mediator is appointed if the two sides of the contract cannot agree on changes.
Global Rationale:
