Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
One essential rule of negotiation is to show no fear in the face of intimidation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Avoiding is not acknowledging the conflict and consequently not addressing the problem to solve it. Withdrawing from a conflict does not resolve it, and the individual who retreats may harbor a gnawing anger over a situation that drains energy needed for more constructive purposes.
