高2・共テ向け｜英語長文問題81（集団行動）131語＋和訳・解答解説

In many situations, people are expected to act as part of a group. Working together can make tasks easier and help everyone reach a common goal. For example, in school activities, students often need to follow shared rules so that the group can function smoothly. However, group action should not mean ignoring individual opinions. Each person has different experiences and ideas, and these differences can improve group decisions. When individuals are allowed to express their views, the group can consider more options and avoid simple mistakes. The key is balance. If people think only about themselves, cooperation becomes difficult. On the other hand, if everyone simply follows others without thinking, important problems may be overlooked. A group works best when individuals respect common rules while also sharing their own thoughts openly.

Which two statements are NOT supported by the passage?

1. Teamwork becomes easier when everyone shares the same rules.
2. Different viewpoints can lead to smarter choices for everyone.
3. The writer says personal opinions should be kept private.
4. Self-centered behavior can make cooperation harder to achieve.
5. Blindly following others may hide important issues in groups.
6. The best group decisions happen without any individual voices.
