Can you help us resolve our substantial disagreement?

Source background
The background here is the summary of responses to the questions we answered in class on Tuesday ("Survey of Ideas," 2016).

_______________________________________ 

My Yes/No question is:
Can you help us resolve our substantial disagreement?

My answer is:
Yes, but I'm not sure how much agreement there might be with my suggested solutions. 

Since the disagreements revealed seem to reflect issues at the heart of academic work, it's probably better if your clear disagreements are worked out through discussion. One set of answers is mine, but ignoring that, it's clear that the 16 members of our class in academic English have some substantial disagreements.

Why is there 100% agreement on some questions and great disagreement on others? Even within responses to the same statement, one option sometimes has full agreement whilst the other shows massive disagreement.

So, can you help us get a bit more agreement? How are we to understand the disagreement? Why do you think the answers that disagree with you are wrong? (Are they wrong?)

    If you would like to do the survey again, or invite others to take it, I've created a live copy (ours is now turned off). The link to use is https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1FEeqNBZMIQZTZbqa0nqkSZ7Snztf95q9gGBvMit_wag/viewform

    Anyone with a Google account can take the copy of our survey once.
