Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The least likely factor to make someone feel bonded or unified with a new team is learning that people on the team come from a wide range of backgrounds and lifestyles (C). This is because diversity in backgrounds and lifestyles does not inherently create a sense of unity or bonding; it could potentially lead to feelings of difference or separation without additional unifying factors or efforts to bridge those differences. In contrast, having a common rival (A), sharing emotional experiences (B), and creating team symbols like a mascot or song (D) are direct activities or situations that foster a sense of unity and shared identity among team members.
