Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: The decision of whether or not to bring in more workers is a matter of resource allocationthe resources being workers and the allocation referring to how Don chooses to distribute the people he has on various tasks. The malfunction itself could be classified as a disturbance and Don's assessment of it a form of monitoring. However, the key here is Don's decision to deploy extra people, and that again is a matter of resource allocation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: Don's appearance at the party is largely a ceremonial rolehe is representing the organization during an important eventso he is performing the role of a figurehead. Don is not specifically providing motivation for employees, so he is not functioning as a leader. He is not linking to the outside world, so his role does not fit that of a liaison. Finally, he is not evaluating or keeping track of tasks, so he is not functioning in the role of a monitor.
