Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) Cultural diversity does seem to be an asset for tasks that call for a variety of viewpoints. However, in other circumstances, diversity seems to interfere with team processes in the short term.

Answer to Question 2

In countries that are more politically unstable, employees seem to demonstrate greater tolerance of intense political processes in the workplace.
