Macy is accommodating because she is willing to go along with any of the choices presented and agrees with the final decision. She is not avoiding because she is participating in the discussion and not trying to avoid or delay the decision-making process. She is not collaborating because she is not actively seeking out other options or trying to find a solution that satisfies everyone's interests. She is also not negotiating because she is not pushing for a particular outcome or trying to find a compromise.
