To begin with, the reading passage argues that a group of people will possess a wider range of expertise and skills. However, the professor claims that some team members did not contribute much at all, getting almost a “free ride”. Besides, group members who work hard were not given[ the  ] recognition they should have gotten [ deserve  ].

Next, the author of the reading passage believes that people are more responsive to the task[what task?   ] and able to devise creative solutions to problems. On the contrary, the professor argues that reaching an agreement among all group members is difficult.

Finally, the author states that a team member who has a voice in making decisions feels better. However, the professor thinks that some influential members would have a great impact on group decisions. If they go[ grammatical error/subjunctive  ] in the wrong direction, sensible members who try to warn the rest of the group may[ grammatical error  ] be ignored. As a result, all members are blamed for the unsuccessful project[absolute statement   ].
