Answer to #1

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

Answer to #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.

Answer to #3

ANS: C
Collaborating is a win-win strategy and contributes to effective problem solving because both parties try to find mutually satisfying solutions. Generally, this is a most effective method of conflict resolution.

Answer to #4

ANS: A
Mediation is a friendly intervention by consent and invitation for settling differences between parties. It is negotiation that involves a third party who is knowledgeable about negotiation procedures and can help the parties do their bargaining.
