Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: Planning involves foreseeing the future and making accommodations to deal with what is likely to occur. Joe is performing both of these functions, so he is planning. None of the other choices involve specifically preparing for future occurrences, so planning is the only category that fits here.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: Good organizers excel at determining the right job for the right person. Planning may include a minor element of delegating, as a planner must map out future tasks. Leading includes an element of directing, which also involves delegating. However, neither planning nor leading is as directly involved in delegating as organizing is. Finally, controlling, largely a monitoring activity, has little to do with delegating.
