Answer to Question 1

E
Explanation: E) Chain of command can't be discussed without also discussing unity of command. The principle of unity of command helps preserve the concept of an unbroken line of authority. It says a person should have one and only one superior to whom he or she is directly responsible. If the unity of command is broken, an employee might have to cope with conflicting demands or priorities from several superiors.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: B) Chain of command can't be discussed without also discussing authority. Authority refers to the rights inherent in a managerial position to give orders and expect them to be obeyed. To facilitate coordination, each managerial position is given a place in the chain of command, and each manager is given a degree of authority in order to meet his or her responsibilities.
