  Don't always make good decisions
- B.
  
  Can always recognize the truth
- C.
  
  Never get excited
- D.
  
  Always act like wild animals
Correct Answer
A. Don't always make good decisions

Explanation
The author would probably agree that crowds of people don't always make good decisions because collective decision-making can be influenced by various factors such as groupthink, emotional contagion, and the diffusion of responsibility. When individuals are in a crowd, they may feel less accountable for their actions and be more prone to follow the behavior and opinions of others, even if they are not rational or well-informed. Therefore, the author would likely believe that crowds of people can sometimes make poor decisions.
