Identify the CORRECT statement: 1. Inaccurate nudging occurs as a result of information that tells about the socially accepted behavior. 2. Successful nudging occurs as a result of the desire to avoid disapproval of others. 3. Nudging is pluralistic ignorance that leads to peer pressure. 4. Collective behaviours in a society prevents individuals from getting fined for inappropriate actions.
Explanation:
In the fourth paragraph, the author says, "The first involves information. If many people do something or think something, their actions and their thoughts convey information about what might be best for you to do or think. The second involves peer pressure. If you care about what other people think about you (perhaps in the mistaken belief that they are paying some attention to what you are doing—see below), then you might go along with the crowd to avoid their wrath or curry their favor." From this, it can be observed that people don't want society's disapproval and thus, are nudged into certain activities. Hence, the answer is option B.
