Answer:
a. stadium C to be built, but this would not be the most socially efficient outcome.
Explanation:
The median voter model, is a term that describes a situation in which a form of majority rule voting system determines the eventual outcome wanted majorly by the median voter.
This is a means of trying to reach conclusion based on median rule, most specifically, when equal number of voters are supporting different alternatives.
Hence, in this case, using median voter model will ensure that stadium C is built, however, stadium E would be most socially efficient outcome.

An argumentative text or essay is one that proffers some premises which are then followed by a conclusion. It follows a logical order where the premises offer reasons why the conclusion should be accepted as true.<em> Sometimes. however, the conclusion can come before the premises. </em>The writer of this text wants us to believe that genetics is a young science. This is the conclusion. He then goes on to provide historical proof or statements of facts that support this conclusion.

Answer: a) the other committee members are all in favor of the plan.
Explanation:
According to the question's situation, Professor Wang does not support the below-average grade possessing students among the academic standard committee. Whereas other members of the committee want to support them.
So, Professor Wang can vote in favor if all the members of the committee decide to vote in supporting children with below average grade.This will convince Professor Wang as everyone is thinking of favoring students.
Other options are incorrect because discussing his opinion early will not necessarily change opinion of others. Private ballot voting will also lead to support the majority decision and will not include Professor Wang in that decision.Self esteem will not help in favoring students.Thus, the correct option is option(a).
