question 16 of 20
in the following conversation, which group discussion technique does
ramona most clearly demonstrate?

ramona:
so how about this: since her acting was so bad, and the
man she loved controlled so much of her life, is it possible
she felt that she deserved to be spoiled?

han:
i can see that. the book even said that the crazier her life
got, the better her acting became.

a. asking a forced - choice question
b. asking a rhetorical question
c. asking research questions to generate leads
d. asking questions to keep things moving

Explanation:

To determine the group discussion technique Ramona uses, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A forced - choice question offers a limited set of options (e.g., yes/no or a few choices). Ramona's question is open - ended, not forced - choice.
• Option B: A rhetorical question is asked for effect, not to get an answer. Ramona is seeking input or discussion, so it's not rhetorical.
• Option C: Ramona's question is about interpreting a character's feelings, not generating research leads.
• Option D: Ramona's question ("is it possible she felt that she deserved to be spoiled?") is designed to prompt further discussion and keep the conversation going about the character. This fits the description of asking questions to keep things moving.

Answer:

D. Asking questions to keep things moving
