Ratio:

3 boys / 5 girls

total = 8 people

5 girls / 8 people

Proportion:

5 girls / 8 people = x girls / 40 people

8x = 200

x = 25 girls

40 - 25 = 15 boys

25 - 15 = 10 more girls than boys

There are 10 more girls than boys in the class.

Hope this helps!! :)

C. Groupthink

Explanation:

Most of us can remember at least once when a group, when making a decision for the sake of beloved harmony, set aside individual ideas and opinions and followed a not very rational path. This kind of dysfunction in decision making, which in English is called groupthink. Groupthink occurs when an environment begins to show overestimation of group power and morality, with thoughts such as "Yes, we are good in every way!"; lack of openness to new ideas, always ignoring or rationalizing any questioning about the falseness of group assumptions and pressure for uniformity. These "symptoms" are similar to what is happening in the group exposed in the question, so we can conclude that the question is describing a situation where groupthink occurs.

The answer is the fragmented government. By providing office holders across the political system with common goals and interests, political parties’ assistance to overcome the problem of fragmented government created by the constitution. In addition, patronage was significant to political parties because it ensured an army of supporters and workers for elections.
