Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Interpersonal power comes from connection, information, and group decision-making powers. Group decision-making power can create synergy when people come together to make decisions and go forth as a united force.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
People gain expert power through knowledge, skills, and information. Personal power can be derived from the ability to make decisions because of expert or information power and from the ability to provide resources because of reward power.
