The prompt presents an either/or scenario for participation, offering two possible paths and asks you to answer yes or no based on which path you take.
Option set context: If you choose in-person participation, you must answer yes if you participated at least 3 times in class today (across small groups, the large class, or a mix). If you choose online participation, you must answer yes if you contributed at least 150 words total to the online discussion. The two paths are mutually exclusive in practice, but each has its own specific criterion to satisfy.
Since the provided answer choices are limited to a single option, 'yes', there is no alternative option to evaluate for correctness against a 'no' choice. In this case, the question effectively asks you to indicate that you met the applicable criterion on the path you selected. If you participated in person and met the 'at least 3 times' criterion, answering 'yes' aligns with the requirement. If you participated online and met the 'at least 150 words' criterion, answering 'yes' also aligns with the requirement. Therefore, the singular 'yes' option corresponds to meeting the stated participation threshold under whichever path you took.
Because there are no other answer choices provided to compare, there is no scope to evaluate why an alternative (such as 'no') would be correct or incorrect. The absence of additional options means we cannot assess different responses; the decision rests entirely on whether the chosen participation path meets its stated threshold, in which case 'yes' would be the appropriate response when the criterion is satisfied.
In summary, the question hinges on satisfying the specified minimums for the selected mode of participation; with only the 'yes' option present, the reasoning focuses on whether that threshold was reached for the chosen path, and if so, 'yes' correctly reflects compliance with the requirement.
