During a group discussion about the book Hatchet, Yuki disagrees with all of the speakers before her. For Yuki to most effectively respond, she should do which of the following?: A) Look down and ignore the comments of the others; B) Wait to be called on and then state her views and offer facts from the book to support her ideas; C) Disagree with everything that has been said; or D) Request that the moderator ask the others to stop talking since their opinions are incorrect.

Group discussions about books and literature can follow various procedures. Some discussions are quite informal, with participants speaking freely and spontaneously. Other discussion groups may follow set procedures. Yuki would need to know what the stated and unstated rules of her group are. If her group is moderated, which the second and fourth answers imply that it is, the best answer is "wait to be called on and then state her views and offer facts from the book to support her ideas." This would work best if the moderator's role is to call on one participant at a time to speak and to make sure everyone gets a chance to express his or her opinion.
The first choice is not a good option. By looking down and ignoring what others have said, Yuki is disengaging from the discussion. Discussions are better when everyone remains involved and invested.
To disagree with everything that others have said is not an effective discussion technique. Discussions are chances to learn from others and to share one's own feelings and ideas. By reacting negatively to what others have said, Yuki risks having other group members ignore her or shut her down. Instead, Yuki could try to find an area of agreement or at least acknowledge that others have valid, if contradictory, points of view.
Asking the moderator to shut others down would be out of line. The moderator's role is to facilitate discussion and get everyone to contribute, so he or she will not want to tell members to stop talking. Again, Yuki should try not to think of others' opinions as "incorrect" but should try to find common ground or at least praise the speakers for their interesting or unusual perspectives.
