Distinguish the offset and cluster classroom arrangement styles.

What will be an ideal response?

In offset style, small numbers of students (usually three or four) sit at tables but do not sit directly across from one another. In cluster style, small numbers of students (usually four to eight) work in small, closely bunched groups.
