Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: Don's appearance at the party and role as host to the reporter suggest that he is clearly above the level of first-line manager and low-level middle manager. Don is too involved with everyday activities (Phil's problem and equipment malfunction) to be a top CEO. All of this evidence suggests that Don is a fairly high-level middle managera plant manager.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: In meeting with officials outside of the organization, Michelle is providing a link to the outside world, or functioning as a liaison. Of the other choices given, leader and resource allocator do not involve communication with the outside world. An entrepreneur may connect with the outside world, but Michelle is not functioning as an entrepreneur because she is not looking for business opportunities. So liaison is the only choice that makes sense here.
