Accuplacer Practice Test

What determines the number of coalitions that can form within a three-person group?

1. a. The third member's position

2. b. Each member's popularity

3. c. Emergence of conflicts

4. d. Possibility of alliances

The correct answer is: d. Possibility of alliances

In a three-person group, the number of coalitions that can form is not determined by the third member's position (A), as this does not factor in the potential alliances between the other two members. It is also not determined by each member's popularity (B), as this does not necessarily affect their willingness to form coalitions. The emergence of conflicts (C) may influence the formation of coalitions, but it is not the determining factor. The possibility of alliances (D) is the most accurate answer as it directly relates to the question and the formation of coalitions within the group. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
