Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: High power distance means that leaders have a disproportionate amount of power when compared to subordinatesusually resulting in mid-level managers making inordinately safe decisions to avoid disapproval from their superiors. This makes less likely to make risky decisions the correct response. Similarly, high power distance would decrease, rather than increase, the likelihood of mid-level managers disagreeing with leaders.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: Low uncertainty avoidance means that managers tend not to shy away from uncertaintyusually resulting in them being more likely to make risky decisions. Managers seeking to avoid risk might avoid making any kind of decision. Foolish decisions might be risky, so being less likely to make a foolish decision would also be incorrect.
