Explanation:

To determine how Donnie should adjust his behavior for a group discussion (though Donnie's actions aren't shown, we analyze the options based on group discussion norms):

• "He should ask a question for clarification": Appropriate to understand others' points.
• "He should work to keep the group on task": Important to stay focused on dance decisions.
• "He should speak in a more respectful tone": Respectful communication is key in groups.
• "He should present his idea with supporting facts": Using facts (like Lola’s venue cost comparison) strengthens ideas.
• "He should take notes to address Lola’s point later": Helps track and respond to others’ contributions.

"Reminding the group of rules" is less relevant here as the discussion is about decisions, not rule - breaking.

Answer:

• He should ask a question for clarification.
• He should work to keep the group on task.
• He should speak in a more respectful tone.
• He should present his idea with supporting facts.
• He should take notes to address Lola's point later.
