THE GROUP WRITES OPTIONS ON SLIPS OF PAPER, PUTS THEM IN A HAT, AND THE PAPER THAT IS SELECTED WILL BE PRESENTATION TOPIC. 4. A GROPU MEMBER IS SELECTED AS THE TEAM LEADER AND THE TEAM LEADER CHOOSES THE PRESENTATION TOPIC.

Answer 1

The best example of your group coming to a consensus on the presentation topic is option 2: "Each member gets a vote and the animal with the most votes will be the presentation topic."

This approach ensures that all group members have a say in the decision-making process and that the chosen topic reflects the preferences of the group as a whole, which is a key aspect of reaching a consensus.
