Which of the following best fits in the blank?
The term “herd behavior” comes from the behavior of animals in groups, particularly when they are in a dangerous situation such as escaping a predator. All of the animals band closely together in a group and, in panic mode, move together as a unit. It is very unusual for a member of the herd to stray from the movement of the unit. The term also applies to human behavior, and it usually describes large numbers of people acting the same way at the same time. It often has a(n)       , as people’s actions are driven by emotion rather than by thinking through a situation. Human herd behavior can be observed at large­scale demonstrations, riots, strikes, religious gatherings, sports events, and outbreaks of mob violence. When herd behavior sets in, an individual person’s judgment and opinion-forming process shut down as he or she automatically follows the group’s movement and behavior.

implication of irrationality

빈칸에는 "implication of irrationality"(비합리성의 함의)가 들어가야 한다.
빈칸 뒤에서 이유를 "people's actions are driven by emotion rather than by thinking through a situation"(행동이 숙고보다 감정에 이끌린다)이라고 밝히고, 끝에서도 판단력이 "shut down"(멈춘다)고 한다. 곧 이성이 작동하지 않는다는 뜻이 필요하다.
"rational reasoning"(합리적 추론)은 지문과 정반대다.
"difference with animals"(동물과의 차이)는 틀리다. 지문은 같은 용어가 사람에게도 적용된다는 공통점을 말한다.
"feature of objects"(사물의 특징)는 사람의 행동을 다루는 지문과 무관하다.
"demonstrative event"(감정을 드러내는 행사)는 행사의 종류를 가리킬 뿐, 판단 없이 군중을 따르는 행동의 성격을 설명하지 못한다.
