Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jenna's observation of her manager being late at meetings points to low distinctiveness, as it is not a behavior specific to that situation. The fact that her co-workers claim he is generally punctual suggests that this behavior is not consistent with his usual behavior, indicating low distinctiveness. There is no mention of consensus among other managers or employees, making C unlikely. Finally, because the behavior is inconsistent across different situations and contexts, D is also unlikely.
