Answer to Question 1

B
Power, regardless of level, comes from the ability to influence others and events. While having a personal perception that one is powerful, having great wealth and buying ability, or being in a powerful position may feel good, these do not necessarily mean that one has personal power.

Answer to Question 2

A
A number of different definitions have been developed for the word power. A commonly used definition is that power is the ability to create, get, and/or use resources to achieve one's goals. Regardless of the type or level of power, it comes from the ability to influence others or affect others' thinking or behavior.
