Nelson's class is having a group discussion tomorrow. He is very nervous about speaking in front of the class, and would rather just listen to everyone else. His teacher, however, has made it very clear that everyone has to contribute.

Which action is the best way for Nelson to be a good participant?

He should be strong and assertive so he can speak before anyone else gets a chance.

He should decide on his own agenda and make sure he conveys it to the group.

He should take notes as others are speaking and then find a good time to speak up.

He should listen to the other participants and comment only if he has the same ideas.

The correct answer should be He should decide on his own agenda and make sure he conveys it to the group.

He should say what he believes but should not rush it and should take time to feel ready and feel least under pressure. He should follow his agenda and but should still say something because everyone has to contribute. Not everyone has to agree with it or with him and taking notes is not necessary.
