Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sale of the art collection and use of employee photos represents a symbol, as it is a concrete object or image that represents an idea or concept (in this case, recognizing the value of front-line employees). The other answer choices do not fit as well - a paradigm is a way of thinking or a framework, a ceremony is a formal event, and a model is a representation or theory.
