Answer: (A)
Dr. Pulaski is likely to find that approximately three-quarters (76 percent) of the subjects will conform to the group's judgment on at least one critical trial.
Explanation:
Solomon Asch conducted an experiment to find out to what extent people conform to group pressure.
He set up the experiment to include a single participant and seven confederates in a group. (A confederate is an accomplice of a researcher who is placed intentionally within an experiment by the researcher, so he can manipulate the experiment in his favor).
Each confederate was to give the same wrong answer to a certain question asked, while the participant was to provide his answer last.
Asch then observed if the single participant would tailor his answer according to the wrong answers provided by the confederates, or would provide the accurate answer.
Asch found out that from 12 trials conducted, "75% (three-quarters) of participants conformed to wrong answers provided at least once", while 25% did not conform at all.
He also discovered that on average of the trials carried out, one-third of the participants went along with the incorrect answer provided by the confederates.
Asch had also set up a control experiment with only a single participant and no confederates.
From the control experiment, he realized that less than 1% provided the wrong answer to the question asked.

Explanation:
The amount of money that he could have earned from working the job, if he would have chosen to do that instead of going to college is known as an opportunity cost. This is because it is the cost that Mr. Flanagan decided to accept in order to pursue another goal, which in this case was going to college. In the opposite choice, if Mr. Flanagan had decided to work a full-time job instead of going to college his opportunity cost would have been the education and high-paying job offers he could have gotten.
