Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Norms establish acceptable group behaviors and encourage conformity of behavior among group members. Group cohesion is the closeness or sticking together of the group. Group think is the tendency of group members to avoid conflict and adopt a normative pattern of thinking that is often consistent with the ideas of the group leader. Group process is the development and culmination of the session-to-session interactions of the members that move the group toward its goals.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
For any group to be successful, it must have members who assume task roles. The task role of information seeker is one in which the group member asks for clarification. The coordinator shows or clarifies the relationships among various ideas and suggestions. The recorder writes suggestions, keeps minutes, and serves as the group memory. The standard setter expresses the standards for the group to achieve.
