Question

in the following conversation, which group discussion technique does ramona most clearly demonstrate?
ramona:
so weve all just read tim johnsons biography on the 1950s actress molly may. now lets chat! emily, what did you think of the reading?
emily:
i wasnt a huge fan.
ramona:
can you point to anything specific that you did not like?
a. asking questions to keep things moving
b. asking a forced - choice question
c. asking research questions to generate leads
d. asking a rhetorical question

Explanation:

Ramona first initiates the discussion by asking Emily for her thoughts on the reading. When Emily gives a vague response ("I wasn't a huge fan"), Ramona follows up with a specific question to elicit more detail, ensuring the conversation progresses rather than stalling. This aligns with the technique of asking questions to keep the discussion moving. The question is not forced-choice (no limited options), research-focused (not for generating leads), or rhetorical (it seeks a genuine answer).

Answer:

A. Asking questions to keep things moving
