Question

monique, a concerned parent, is forming a group to attempt to reduce the number of teenage pregnancies in her hometown. her group is most likely to be effective at generating solutions if it is:

• midsize and diverse
• small and homogeneous
• large and highly motivated
• the size of the group is irrelevant if they have a strong leader

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze group effectiveness for problem - solving (like reducing teenage pregnancies). A midsize and diverse group is best: midsize avoids too - few ideas (small/homogeneous) or coordination issues (large), and diversity brings varied perspectives (cultural, professional, etc.) to generate creative solutions. Small/homogeneous lacks diverse ideas. Large groups may have coordination problems. A strong leader alone doesn't fix size - related idea - generation issues.

Answer:

A. Midsize and diverse
