Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: A complaint is clearly a type of disturbance, so in addressing an employee's complaint, Michelle is functioning as a disturbance handler. None of the other rolesresource allocator, liaison, or figureheadinvolve addressing problems directly or fixing situations, so the correct choice here is disturbance handler.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: Michelle's meeting with the section managers is one in which she is dispensing information or functioning as a disseminator. Michelle is connecting with others here, but she is not a liaison because she is connecting within the organization, not outside of it. Michelle is neither addressing a problem nor mediating between parties so she is not functioning in the role of disturbance handler or negotiator.
