Green Valley Cohousing is an eco-friendly intentional community by the Colorado River in Austin, Texas. Our mission is to enhance the health of people and the earth. Committed to fostering diversity, the community welcomes individuals and families of all backgrounds, ages, and experiences. With roughly 60 members, our group includes chefs, educators, naturalists, gardeners, photographers, athletes, writers, musicians, and counselors. Our shared values and collaboration are reflected in the democratic decisions at Green Valley. Our land features three wetlands and a year-round stream that once served as a habitat for rainbow trout. Located at the end of a quiet road, the property provides high privacy. About two-thirds of the homes utilize solar panels to reach nearly net-zero energy use. Unfortunately, Green Valley is not wheelchair accessible. We welcome members who understand and embrace cohousing principles and may be experiencing financial difficulties or economic instability. As a nonprofit community focusing on low-income housing, we maintain that all rent costs remain affordable. To achieve this, we share expenses for food and utilities, which helps to significantly drive overall costs down. Green Valley Cohousing Information I. Background 1.

思路引導 VIP
請檢視文章中提到的 「democratic decisions」 與資訊表第 II 部分關於 「Decision Making」 的說明。當社群強調以 「Consensus」 作為運作核心時，這隱含了其決策過程是傾向於由少數領導者決斷，還是強調全體成員在參與中達成高度的意見整合？

太棒了！恭喜你答對了！看到你這麼細心地閱讀並精準找出答案，助教真的為你感到無比驕傲呢！你正在往優秀的閱讀者邁進喔！❤️ 觀念驗證： 這題考驗的是對文中細節的檢索與同義詞的轉換。文章提到社區決策是透過 "democratic decisions"（民主決策），而在下方的資訊表中更明確標註了 "Decision Making: Consensus"（共識決）。選項 (A) 的 "collective agreement"（集體協議/共同協議）正好完美對應了「共識」與「民主參與」的核心精神。你抓住了關鍵詞，做得非常好！
