you should begin by letting everyone brainstorm questions for the discussion.
you should make sure the discussion remains respectful.
you should allow everyone to take turns choosing a topic for discussion.
you should convince everyone to agree with your opinions.

Explanation:

• For the first option: A facilitator's role is not to get everyone to agree with their opinions but to guide the discussion, so this is incorrect.
• For the second option: The facilitator typically sets the topic or guides the topic selection, not letting everyone take turns choosing, so this is incorrect.
• For the third option: A key role of a group discussion facilitator is to ensure the discussion is respectful, inclusive, and on - track, so this is correct.
• For the fourth option: Brainstorming questions is more of a pre - discussion or specific activity - related task, and the main start of facilitation is not this; also, the core role includes maintaining a respectful environment, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. You should make sure the discussion remains respectful.
