Answer to Question 1

B
Workplace bullying involves aggressive and destructive behaviors such as running a smear campaign, engaging in put-downs, and excluding team members from socialization opportunities.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D

Delegating other responsibilities such as housekeeping and taking her mother shopping also will relieve some of the burden she is experiencing.
