Peter, Quinn, and Rachel are working on a group project at school. They agree that Peter will research Topic A, Quinn will focus on Topic B, and Rachel will cover Topic C. However, when they go home, Peter accidentally starts researching Topic B instead of Topic A. Meanwhile, Quinn forgets which topic she was assigned and begins studying Topic A. Rachel stays true to her assignment and studies Topic C. When they meet up again in class, what do they think about each other's progress and knowledge of their respective topics?
Provide a brief response.
When Peter, Quinn, and Rachel meet up in class, they may initially be confused about the information the others have gathered. Since Rachel has studied Topic C as planned, her work aligns with the group's expectations for her assignment. However, Peter and Quinn have both deviated from their original assignments, leading to an overlap in their research.

Peter, who was supposed to research Topic A, might be surprised or even impressed by Quinn's knowledge of Topic A, not realizing that it was due to a mix-up rather than her own choice. He may not even notice anything wrong until the discrepancy in assignments is pointed out, as he would expect Quinn to be knowledgeable about Topic B, which he mistakenly researched.

Quinn, having forgotten her assignment and studied Topic A, might think Peter neglected his part because she finds herself unexpectedly well-versed in what she believes was his topic. She will likely be unaware of her own mistake until the group discusses their findings.

Rachel would notice that neither Peter nor Quinn has covered the correct topics they were assigned. She would be puzzled as to why Peter is discussing Topic B and not Topic A, and why Quinn seems prepared to discuss Topic A instead of Topic B.

Once they start discussing their findings, it will become evident that there has been a mix-up. They'll need to reconcile their work and make sure that all topics are adequately covered for their group project. They might have to redistribute the workload or spend time catching up on the correct topics to ensure they meet the project's requirements.
