Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Role ambiguity occurs when the expectations of a role are not clearly defined. Role discrepancy is a situation where a person's conception of a role does not match the reality of that role. Role extension occurs as the duties associated with a specific role expand. Role conflict is the state of stress that occurs when a person struggles to meet the demands of two roles. Role overload is a situation in which the time and resources allotted for a given role are insufficient to meet the role expectations.

Answer to Question 2

B
A contract with terms spelled out in writing is known as an express contract.
An enforceable contract simply means that a contract meets all criteria to be valid. The contract the faculty member signed was most likely an enforceable one, but this answer is not specific enough.
An implied contract in one based solely on the conduct of the parties.
Promissory in the context of contracts refers to an agreement that creates a legal relationship and is not a specific type of contract.
