A panel meets every six months to discuss their answers to the assigned questions. Bill, Ted, Mark, and Jim are members of the panel. Which of the following could threaten the effectiveness of the panel? (1 point) The panel members are all different ages. The panel members are all different nationalities. The panel members are all male. The panel members are all from various parts of the country.

Answer 1

The statement that could potentially threaten the effectiveness of the panel is "The panel members are all male."

While diversity in age, nationality, and regional background can contribute to a range of perspectives and ideas, having all members of the same gender may limit the diversity of viewpoints and experiences that can enhance discussion and decision-making. This uniformity might lead to a lack of representation of different perspectives that could be valuable in addressing the assigned questions.
