Third parties generally serve only to take votes from one of the main parties. Third parties generally serve only to take votes from one of the main parties. If the third party has a candidate promising similar things to the Rep. candidate, the Democrats are more likely to win simply because their votes are not being siphoned off. Think of it this way: if a school class were to vote on favorite colors and there were only blue and red to choose from, it would probably be mostly equal. But if the same class were to vote for blue, teal, and red, I would be willing to bet that red would win just because its votes weren't being split like the blue votes were. Teal is the third party. It won't ever win on its own, but it can be influential in that it can help the opposite party win.

stepan [7]

Answer:

B. The student is likely to be agitated and uncomfortable

Explanation:

This is an incomplete question. The card that is displayed is showed below.

Solomon Asch's experiments were conducted to investigate the extent to which social pressure from the majority of a group could affect a particular person to conform to their opinions even if they were clearly wrong. Solomon Asch argued that when in a group, individuals will feel pressured to conform to the opinion of the majority.

In this example, Ted is working for Asch, and a college student sits to his left, this student is the only one not working for Asch. He shows the card below and asks all of them which line is the longest. It is clear that the longest one is A. However, all the other confederates say that C is the longest and then Ted says that B is the longest. All of them are clearly wrong and the student is likely to be agitated and uncomfortable wondering if he's wrong thinking that A is the longest one.
