Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Symptoms of burnout include blaming and criticizing others, engaging in backbiting, and talking behind others' backs.

To reduce the stress from promotion to a management position, one can set aside time for reading about leadership and management or for observing a leader or manager. This is called time blocking.
