I believe that you would be giving permission for someone to do something.
Answer:
Least likely thing to do
Talk to other associates in the department to see if they know what is causing the performance problems.
Most likely thing to do
Give her specific examples of where her performance is slipping and ask what you can do to help
Explanation:
The most sensible and appropriate thing to do when you notice that one of your best performing associate seems distracted which is affecting sales,causing decline is to meet her and clearly let her know that her performance is slipping, giving her specific examples so she can know where her frailties are so that she can approve. Also offering a hand to help is another likely and sensible thing to do.
This is an effective way of handling the crisis since the associate has proven herself to be an effective and top performing worker.
The least likely thing to do would be talking to other associates and trying to find out if they have an idea of what is causing the performance problems.
This is not a sensible approach because the best person to meet and inquire about the performance problems is the affected associate. She is best placed to inform you about the reasons for the decline and also to work on fixing the performance problems that is impacting sales.
Answer:
Atticus says that Bob Ewell must be crazy to attack Jem and scout, it is the only explanation he could think of that will justify a man to attack innocent children.
Heck Tate disagrees and says Bob Ewell was just mean and had enough liquor in him to make him brave enough to attack children, implying that he was a coward.
Of the two, Heck Tate's explanation is the most correct and the one that aligns with how I feel about Bob Ewell.
Explanation:
Atticus cannot understand what could possibly make a man want to kill children unless the man is mad, so he says Bob Ewell was crazy.
Heck Tate however, assures him that Bob Ewell was not crazy but just "mean as hell" and a coward on top of that, so his attack on the children was inevitable.
Heck Tate's explanation is the correct one.
