Answer:

a. Members of the highest class in the U.S. are successfully maintaining their status.

Explanation:

The popular belief is that America is a land for opportunities is commonly <em>portrayed in the "American dream", yet several studies have demonstrated that US income inequality has steadily sharpened and social mobility is limited.</em>

In 2008 studies showed that socioeconomic mobility in the U.S. had occurred from 1950 to 1980 and thereafter it declined substantially.

In 2013 reports indicated that income inequality was felt and became a permanent feature that reduced possibilities for higher social mobility.

So contrary to the notion that is often portrayed in the films and the media, US wealth is significantly at the hands of top 10 of American wealthiest families, and children from other families are likely to born at low income households.

Aditionally they are managig it well to remain in their condition of privilege, with a status at the cost of the remaining population.

The billionaries often are over the age of 60 and have at least one child which means they transmit their wealth and wealth is inherited with aims to preserve and increase it.

The consequences of this imply that Americans or people coming to the US from humble origins and getting rich is not as frequent as it occurred in the decades mentioned above.

While deciding on how to approach a battle, an army unit that is exhibiting groupthink might _
Bingel [31]

Answer:

endanger themselves with a risky but agreed-upon plan

Explanation:

Groupthink refers to a social phenomenon that make people conform to a certain action just because they desire harmony/comformity within the group rather than because of logical reasons.

This often happen in an organization with strict implementation of hierarchy like the army. In the army, the decisions from Superiors are absolute. So, whenever the superiors told the subordinates to follow a bad strategy, most subordinates will keep their mouth shout most likely agree to it since they fear that other peers might view them as uncooperative or a coward.
