More new teachers!
Well, you've got half of it right, but that's not enough for a majority! Let me help you out a bit.
A. A majority is a position held by more than half of a group. - That's correct!
B. A plurality is a position held by more than half of a group. - Oops, that's not quite accurate.
C. A majority is a position held by less than half of the group but is still the most popular decision. - Close, but not quite right.
D. A plurality is held by less than half of the group but is still the most popular position. - That's not it either.
So, the correct answer is only A - a majority is a position held by more than half of a group. Keep the laughs coming!
To determine which options are true, let's first define majorities and pluralities.
A majority refers to a position or decision that is held by more than half of a group. This means that for option A to be true, it states that a majority is indeed a position held by more than half of a group.
On the other hand, a plurality refers to a position or decision that has the largest number of votes or support, but does not necessarily constitute more than half of the group. Option B incorrectly states that a plurality is a position held by more than half of a group, which is not accurate.
Option C suggests that a majority is a position held by less than half of the group but is still the most popular decision. This statement is incorrect, as a majority must consist of more than half of the group. Therefore, option C is false.
Lastly, option D states that a plurality is held by less than half of the group but is still the most popular position. This accurately describes a plurality. Since a plurality does not require more than half of the group's support, option D is true.
Therefore, the accurate statements about majorities and pluralities are:
A. A majority is a position held by more than half of a group
D. A plurality is held by less than half of the group but is still the most popular position
Hence, your intuition is correct, options A and D are the correct answers.
