D. I like John the best, because he really believes what everyone says and he doesn’t like to cause problems with the team by pushing his opinion on everyone else.

Answer 1

Option C. Fred believes that corporate corruption is the price we pay for capitalism, while John thinks that government regulation can limit the corruption.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C is the most detailed summary, and it describes the opinions given during the discussion as facts - thus avoiding making for a biased set of notes in favor of the writer's perspective. In addition, the arguments presented by the classmates are analyzed and compared with each other, which helps in the construction of better formulated opinions for other classmates and the debaters as well.
