Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a country with high power distance, there is a significant power distance between individuals with different levels of authority. The leader is often seen as a figure of authority, respect, and deference. Therefore, it is likely that hundreds of statues, billboards, and posters of the leader would appear all over the capital as a sign of respect and admiration towards the leader.

Answer: C 
 In a high power distance country, there is a clear distinction between the positions of power and non-power positions. Thus, top managers and employees would dress in similar ways to emphasize their positions of power and professionalism as compared to other lower-ranked employees.

Option B and D cannot be selected because they are less likely to happen in a country with high power distance.
