Question

In the following conversation, which group discussion technique does Han most clearly show? RAMONA: O.K., one more time. Did Molly May really love Edward Thomas? Or did she just stay with him for the money? HAN: Well, the way Tim Johnson wrote the book made it seem like May was so in love with him that she'd put up with anything. Like when he left her in his mansion for a week without food or water or electricity. If all she cared about was the money, I don't see why she would do that.

A. Redirecting someone who is off track
B. Considering the opinions of others
C. Using evidence to support opinions
D. Synthesizing claims into a single conclusion

Answer 1

The answer is: C. Using evidence to support opinions .

In the conversation, Han builds his opinion based on the approach made by the author Tim Johnson, and provides evidence to justify it. He explains May was not interested in Edward's money and that she was so in love with him that she could tolerate whatever he did to her. For instance, Han mentions the time Edward "left her in his mansion for a week without food or water or electricity."
