Keeping group members together as one unit and not dividing them into separate discussion subgroups is not a prescriptive strategy to prevent groupthink.

The other options (assigning a devil's advocate, inviting outsiders, and calling a second-chance meeting to express doubts) are all recommended strategies to prevent groupthink.
