Identify the specific role described

Using the Group Roles knowledge point
The prompt describes an individual who "records and takes minutes." In group communication theory, this specific functional role is known as the Recorder (or secretary), whose job is to document the group's discussions, decisions, and action items.

Classify the role category

The role of a Recorder is a functional role focused directly on helping the group achieve its goal or complete its work. Therefore, it is classified under Task roles (roles that facilitate and coordinate the group's effort in selecting and defining a common problem and in solving it), rather than maintenance roles (which focus on interpersonal relationships) or individual/self-centered roles.

Evaluate the given options

• A - Recorder: Correct. This is the specific name of the role described.
• B - Maintenance: Incorrect. Maintenance roles focus on group cohesion and relationships (e.g., harmonizer, gatekeeper).
• C - Task: Correct. The Recorder is a subcategory of group task roles.
• D - Coordinator: Incorrect. A coordinator shows relationships among various ideas or suggestions, which is a different task role.
