Which group discussion technique is best illustrated by the following
statement?
the article says that even the tiniest vibrations can ruin the
outcome of the procedure. so that means if they had this
device that eliminates vibrations from the instruments,
they would be more successful.

a. synthesizing various ideas
b. establishing a focus
c. supporting ideas with evidence
d. refuting a claim

B. Establishing a focus

Explanation:

The group discussion has refined the issue, by establishing a focus i.e a device to eliminate vibration.

Option A is not correct because in this specific statement, various ideas are not being synthesized, but just a single focus is establish. Similarly option D is incorrect as there is no refuting, as the statement is not proving any claim to be false or wrong.

In option C supporting ideas with evidence may initially seem close to correct option. But when we observe the statement deeply, we come to know that there is no evidence that eliminating vibration made them successful. It is just a possibility.

author – information on the internet with a listed author is one indication of a credible site. the fact that the author is willing to stand behind the information presented (and in some cases, include his or her contact information) is a good indication that the information is reliable.

date – the date of any research information is important, including information found on the internet. by including a date, the website allows readers to make decisions about whether that information is recent enough for their purposes.

sources – credible websites, like books and scholarly articles, should cite the source of the information presented.

domain – some domains such as .com, .org, and .net can be purchased and used by any individual. however, the domain .edu is reserved for colleges and universities, while .gov denotes a government website. these two are usually credible sources for information (though occasionally a university will assign a .edu address to each of its students for personal use, in which case use caution when citing). be careful with the domain .org, because .org is usually used by non-profit organizations which may have an agenda of persuasion rather than education.

site design – this can be very subjective, but a well-designed site can be an indication of more reliable information. good design make information more easily accessible.

writing style – poor spelling and grammar are an indication that the site may not be credible. in an effort to make the information presented easy to understand, credible sites watch writing style closely.
