Asch could feel fairly confident that his results were legitimate because ________ pressured by the group
A) 35 percent of respondents gave wrong answers when they were not
B) only 1 percent of respondents gave wrong answers when they were not
C) only 1 percent of respondents gave wrong answers when they were
D) 90 percent of respondents gave wrong answers when they were
Answer: B
Explanation: The key to Asch's results was that respondents made errors only 1 percent of the time when no group pressure was applied. This indicates that the test was easy and that people had no problem getting the correct answer as long as no group pressure was applied. This means that "35 percent" must be eliminated as the correct response for this question and "only 1 percent of respondents gave wrong answers when they were not" is the correct response. Both of the remaining choices are incorrect responses for this question because they are factually incorrect–much more than 1 percent and much less than 90 percent gave wrong answers in Asch's studies when they did receive group pressure.
