Question

which of the following statements about acting as the facilitator of a group discussion is true?
○ you should not take sides when people disagree on a topic.
○ you should be responsible for getting everyone to agree on an issue.
○ you should ask questions, but not express your opinions.
○ you should talk and listen during the discussion.

Explanation:

To determine the true statement about acting as a group discussion facilitator:

• A facilitator should remain neutral and not take sides during disagreements (so "You should not take sides when people disagree on a topic" is correct).
• A facilitator shouldn't force agreement (eliminating "You should be responsible for getting everyone to agree on an issue").
• Facilitators should encourage participation, including expressing opinions (eliminating "You should ask questions, but not express your opinions").
• Facilitators guide discussion, and active listening/talking (in a guiding way) is part of it, but the key correct principle here is neutrality in disagreements.

Answer:

A. You should not take sides when people disagree on a topic
