Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Collaborative learning organizes learners to work interdependently toward a shared goal.
Its benefits arise from interaction, peer explanation, mutual feedback, and joint problem solving; these processes generally strengthen communication, perspective taking, motivation, feedback opportunities, and problem-solving ability.
Application
Statement A names improved communication, C names increased motivation, D names more opportunities for personal feedback, and E names enhanced problem-solving. Statement B says that understanding of different perspectives decreases, which reverses a central effect of collaborative interaction.
Contrast
B, C and D only includes the decreased-perspective statement and omits A and E.
A and E only includes two benefits but omits C and D.
A, B and D only includes the decreased-perspective statement and omits C and E.
Cross-check
A polarity check shows that A, C, D and E describe constructive learning outcomes, whereas B describes a decline in perspective understanding.
Therefore, the benefit statements are A, C, D and E, represented by “A, C, D & E only”.
