Liam,who is a floor representative for his college dormitory,wants to convince his fellow board members to make some major policy changes that he knows the majority may not favor.To influence the majority,he should

A) express some uncertainty about his position.
B) be self-confident and consistent in expressing his viewpoint.
C) be the last member to speak and present his argument as briefly as possible.
D) address his arguments specifically to the member of the majority who seems most disagreeable.

By being self-confident and consistent in expressing his viewpoint, Liam may be able to sway some members to his side. Expressing uncertainty (choice A) may make him appear weak or unsure of himself, which could undermine his argument. Being the last to speak and presenting his argument briefly (choice C) may not give him enough time to fully articulate his position or respond to counterarguments. Addressing his argument specifically to a disagreeable member (choice D) could come across as aggressive or confrontational, and may not be the most effective way to sway the majority.
