Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An agent is a person authorized to act on behalf of another person or entity. In this scenario, all employees of Reese Publishing Inc. (including Jennifer Reese and Aaryn) can be considered agents since they are authorized to act on behalf of the company in their respective roles. Aaryn may not be directly involved in the company's business, but his status as Jennifer's husband and voracious reader of the company's publications means he can still act as an agent in some capacity.
