Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) Loyalty is considered a passive constructive response to dissatisfaction.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: B) The tendency to underestimate the influence of external factors and overestimate the influence of internal factors when making judgments about the behavior of others refers to the fundamental attribution error. If Leah is assigned a sales territory where consumers are from low income groups, this shows that she does not necessarily lack the ability to perform and that external constraints are the reason for her underperformance. It thus weakens Naomi's assumption. If Leah often arrives late for meetings, it strengthens Naomi's assumption because it indicates that Leah is not motivated. Good interpersonal skills do not necessarily mean that a person is motivated, and hence, this does not weaken Naomi's assumption. Research showing that the company's largest competitor had a lower turnover than them is irrelevant to the assumption.
