Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The home buyer wants to bring in a third party who will have the authority to dictate an agreement, which is the role of an arbitrator. A mediator, on the other hand, would work with both parties to help them come to a mutually agreeable solution. A conciliator is a similar role to a mediator but typically has less power to impose an outcome. A plaintiff is the person who brings a legal action against another party, and a consultant is someone who provides expert advice or guidance. Therefore, the best choice is E, an arbitrator.
