Question

Read the conversation between Louise and Mark.

LOUISE. If we decide to order a new scoreboard for the gym, we should probably order it before the end of next week. I reached out to the manufacturer and learned that the scoreboard we’ve discussed will take three months to build and ship. If we place the order next week, the scoreboard will arrive just in time for the new school year. Unfortunately, shipping takes—

MARK, interrupting Louise. Placing an order requires a 50 percent deposit up front in the form of a certified check. I’m not sure I can get a check from the treasurer by next week. I’m not even sure we have enough money saved to pay for it.

LOUISE. Thanks for the reminder, Mark. Kristin, how much have we raised in candy bar sales so far? The total cost with shipping is $1,400.00, but with the sponsorship money, the total comes to only $580.

Answer 2

The way Louise demonstrates appropriate behavior in a group discussion is:

A. She encourages the contributions of other group members: Louise takes into account the observations and comments of the other participants as in “Thanks for the reminder, Mark” “Kristin, how much have we raised in candy bar sales so far?”

B. She comes prepared with information that is important to the discussion: Louise brings useful information to the discussion in order to support her idea of placing an order to buy a scoreboard. Examples are: “The total cost with shipping is $1,400.00, but with the sponsorship money, the total comes to only $580.” In this example, Louise shows numbers and asks for information in order to decide if the purchase is possible.
