Answer to Question 1

a.

Answer to Question 2

Most theorists argue against creating competitive situations among individual students; however, they disagree about the value of competition among groups. On the one hand, the competition may be motivating, though only to the extent that each group believes it has a reasonable chance of winning. On the other hand, competition will minimize the extent to which cross-group helping occurs, and it may interfere with any sense of overall community that a teacher is trying to create.
