Majestic is a group that conducts campaigns and spreads awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation. The members plan to conduct a campaign on the shocking decline in the tiger population across the globe
The campaign begins without a member named Carl. Carl wanted to talk about the habitat of the tigers and the negligence of forest rangers to preserve the population. He believed that without a proper awareness campaign, tigers will soon become extinct. Without Carl, the members felt that the group was not fully equipped to go ahead with the campaign. What task role would Carl have played, and why did the group feel skeptical to run the campaign in his absence? a) Information agent, because Carl would have presented facts, beliefs, and personal experiences about tigers b) Free rider, because Carl would not have presented facts, beliefs, and personal experience about tigers. c) Avoider, because Carl would have presented facts, beliefs, and personal experience about tigers. d) Administrator, because Carl would have alarmed the group that the time was running out to run the campaign about tigers.
