Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: B) As compared to work-sample tests, a more elaborate set of performance-simulation tests specifically designed to evaluate a candidate's managerial potential is administered in assessment centers. Line executives, supervisors, and/or trained psychologists evaluate candidates as they go through one to several days of exercises that simulate real problems they would confront on the job.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: D) When most people think of conflict situations, they tend to focus on Stage IV because this is where conflicts become visible. The behavior stage includes the statements, actions, and reactions made by the conflicting parties, usually as overt attempts to implement their own intentions.
