Answer to Question 1

B
A temperature of 78F would be too cold and could result in hypothermia. The temperature should be near body temperature, so 96F would be acceptable. A temperature of 105F is too high and could cause damage to the respiratory tract. A temperature of 84F is too cold and could result in hypothermia.

Answer to Question 2

C
A laissez-faire style is also known as permissive or nondirective, with the leader allowing staff to function with little intervention; this describes this manager's approach. Authoritarian leaders are highly involved in directing staff activity, so this does not describe this manager's style. A democratic leadership style is a participative leadership approach and is not descriptive of the manager in the question. A transformational leader inspires and motivates followers creating a supportive climate, which does not describe the manager in the question.
