Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: D) Task significance is the degree to which a job has an impact on the lives or work of other people.

Answer to Question 2

The nominal group technique restricts discussion or interpersonal communication during the decision-making process. Group members are all physically present, as in a traditional committee meeting, but they operate independently. Specifically, a problem is presented and then the group takes the following steps:
1. Members meet as a group, but before any discussion takes place, each independently writes down ideas on the problem.
2. After this silent period, each member presents one idea to the group. No discussion takes place until all ideas have been presented and recorded.
3. The group discusses the ideas for clarity and evaluates them.
4. Each group member silently and independently rank-orders the ideas. The idea with the highest aggregate ranking determines the final decision.
