Each question has a set of four sequentially ordered statements. Each statement can be classified as one of the following:

• Facts (F), which deal with the pieces of information that one has heard, seen or read, and which are open to discovery or verification.

• Inferences (I), which are conclusions drawn about unknown, on the basis of the known.

• Judgments (J), which are opinions that imply approval or disapproval of persons, objects, situations and occurrences in the past, the present or the future.

Select the answer option that best describes the set of four statements:

(A) A study about bees reported that the queen goes off with about two-thirds of the worker bees to live in a new home leaving a daughter queen in the nest with the remaining worker bees. Among the bees that depart are scouts that search for the new nest site and report back using a waggle dance to advertise suitable locations.

(B) Another form of group think occurs when people are either isolated from crucial sources of information or dominated by other members of the group, some of whom may have malevolent intent. This too has now been demonstrated in animals.

(C) Animals that live in groups make two sorts of choices: consensus decisions in which the group makes a single collective choice, as when house- hunting rock ants decide where to settle; and combined decisions, such as the allocation of jobs among worker bees.

(D) Condorcet's theory describes consensus decisions, outlining how democratic decisions tend to outperform dictatorial ones. If each member of a jury has only partial information, the majority decision is more likely to be correct than a decision arrived at by an individual juror.
