Question

discussion conclusions quick check
why do conversations in which participants agree on all discussion points tend to languish and breakdown?
(1 point)
people secretly resent those who always agree.
a lack of difference leaves little to discuss.
time is needed to fully gather evidence.
contradictions cause discussion hesitancy.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• "People secretly resent those who always agree" is not a primary reason for conversations with full agreement to break down, as the focus is on the content of the discussion, not hidden resentment.
• "A lack of difference leaves little to discuss" makes sense. Conversations thrive on differing perspectives, ideas, or opinions that spark further exploration and exchange. If everyone agrees, there's no new ground to cover or debate, so the conversation loses momentum.
• "Time is needed to fully gather evidence" is irrelevant to why a conversation with full agreement would languish. The issue is about agreement, not evidence - gathering time.
• "Contradictions cause discussion hesitancy" is incorrect because the question is about conversations with no contradictions (full agreement), not ones with contradictions.

Answer:

B. A lack of difference leaves little to discuss.
