GRE Verbal Reasoning QUESTION #8127
Question 1
Authoritarian managers often fail to recognize a key reason for low conflict in democratically run groups: allowing even a small degree of tolerance for dissent frequently prevents _______.
  • demur
  • schism✔️
  • cooperation
  • compliance
Correct Answer Explanation
The logic is: a little tolerance for disagreement prevents serious conflict. Schism means a major split or division — preventing schism is the natural payoff of allowing minor dissent to be voiced safely. 'Demur' means objecting, but you can't prevent objection by allowing objection. 'Cooperation' and 'compliance' are positive outcomes, not problems to prevent.
