Answer to Question 2

4, 5
Explanation: 1. Collaborating focuses on solving the problem and satisfying both parties concerns. Competing
is used when an all-out effort to make a critical decision is needed. Accommodating is
incorrect because accommodating is an unassertive tactic used when individuals neglect their
own concerns in favor of others. Compromising is incorrect because compromising means
neither parties get what they want. Smoothing is incorrect because smoothing is only effective
for minor problems.
