Answer to Question 1

a

a. Correct: Rational decision-making models are developed on the assumption that a person determines the best course of action through logically thinking about all possible options. The number of steps in different models may vary, but in general these models include the following sequence of steps: identifying an issue that needs a decision; generating all potential solutions; generating all possible consequences for each potential solution; selecting an optimal solution; and implementing the decision.
b. Incorrect: These are steps in rational decision making, but the steps are in the wrong sequence, thus altering the logical flow of the process.
c. Incorrect: These are steps in rational decision making, but the steps are in the wrong sequence, thus altering the logical flow of the process.
d. Incorrect: These are steps in rational decision making, but the steps are in the wrong sequence, thus altering the logical flow of the process.
