Answer:

The answer is B. spiral of silence.

Explanation:

Spiral of silence is a political theory which states that individuals may engage in silent attitudes, as they are convinced other members might exclude them if they voice their opinions.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

overcome functional fixedness

Explanation:

Monique routinely uses a shredder to shred her junk-mail into confetti-sized pieces of paper, which she then just throws away. When packing her glassware to move into a new apartment, she runs out of protective styrofoam packing material. Suddenly Monique gets the idea to empty her shredder and use the shredded junk mail confetti for packing material. In this case, Monique has <u>overcome functional fixedness</u>. Functional fixedness is a cognitive bias that makes people limit the use of a thing or object to the traditional  use for which it was made.

Monique was fixed on using the shredder for the traditional purpose for which it was made and throwing away the junk mails, which is for shredding junk mails. However, her decision to deviate from the traditional usage of the shredder and instead using the shredded papers for packing shows that she has overcome functional fixedness with regards to the use of a shredder.
