Can you match the line length?

Can you match the line length?

In one experiment group, subjects (confederates) and actual subject (participant) were recruited.
Each participant was placed with seven confederates. The actual subject was unaware of confederates.
The group was shown a card with one line (X) of some length. This card was followed with another card consisting of three lines (A,B,C) .
Each subject was to say their answer loudly which length (A, B or C) matched with first card length (X).
Confederates were advised to respond first and were told to answer wrongly. Once the confederates had answered, the actual subject was asked to match the lines and tell his answer.
Will the actual subject be able to answer correctly?

In addition to hard and soft skills, we must also exhibit self-management skills e.g. self-motivation, time management and stress management. Being open minded, flexible, adaptable, experimenting and learning from mistakes are the key differentiator for a person's success.

World Economic Forum lists out the top ten soft skills, which employers look for. These are · - Complex Problem Solving · - Critical Thinking · - Creativity · - People Management · - Coordinating with Others · - Emotional Intelligence · - Judgment and Decision Making · - Service Orientation · - Negotiation · - Cognitive Flexibility

As a prospective employee, it is our job to learn and enhance the soft skills continuously as well as demonstrate relevant skills in our resume and during the interview to increase our success rate in the interview process.
