Answer & Explanation:

If this is your question, then the correct answer follows:

Read the following excerpt from a group discussion:

Susan: I believe that all elected officials should be required to obtain a 4-year degree from a major university because the amount of legal paperwork they have to read.

Jimmy: Are you saying that only people with a 4-year degree can read higher-level information?

Susan: typically yes.

Susan: I won. Of course I would win, I always win!

Jimmy: But wait, I wasn’t finished. I disagree with the idea that politicians needing to have a certain educational degree.

Susan: Oh my, look at the other team! They are a wreck.

Jimmy: I was explaining that although we agree that elected officials should be able to read at a higher level, we disagree on the law that requires a certain level of education.

Susan: Ok sure, whatever.

Within this discussion, who is the better discussion participant and explain why the other candidate did NOT meet the expectations of a group discussion.

Jimmy is a better participant in the discussion. Not only does Susan cut Jimmy off, but she is rude to the other team. Both are unacceptable in a group discussion, Jimmy maintained a professional, polite manner the whole way through, even when he was put under pressure by Susan's rudeness.
