General Contracting was hired by the city of Rockyville to put in a new road through a mountain pass for $2 million. General Con

tracting did reasonable soil tests as would be expected of a contractor under their circumstances. The job would involve about 80% costs related to highway materials and 20% labor costs. When General Contracting started building the road, they discovered that it was solid granite a few feet down and that the mountain was unlike any they had ever seen in the state.

If General Contracting is sued by Rockville for refusing to complete the job, General Contracting can have the contract discharged on an impracticability basis.

<h3>What would make a contract impractical?</h3>

When parties to a contract agree to a contract that based on normal circumstances and due course, and one party discovers that they cannot complete the contract based on unforeseen circumstances, the contact can be ruled impractical.

General Contracting could not foresee the solid granite foundation and so they could not have known they would pay so much to complete the project. The contract can therefore be impracticable.

Answer:

B). Response bias

D). The interviewer should reword the question.

Explanation:

Response bias is described as the type of bias in which a variety of tendencies are displayed by the respondents to answer the questions asked in the survey inaccurately or misleadingly. These false responses eventually lead to a false or deceiving conclusion. In the given survey, 'response bias' is displayed as the respondents may display a tendency to answer the question falsely as the feeling of 'patriotism' evoked by the word 'patriotic' may prevent their original opinions to come out. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer to describe the bias in this survey.

In order to prevent this bias, the interviewer must 'reword the question' and remove the word 'patriotic' as it develops the feeling of patriotism in the respondents which mars them from answering accurately and share their true opinions or thoughts in the regards of 'supporting armed forces.' This rewording will help evoke the true and authentic responses without any bias. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer to remedy the bias.

A person with a poor self-concept is more likely to be hired for a position, because they are easier to “mould”.
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Self-concept describes the kind of person or personality an individual thinks he or she has.

People that have a realistic self-concept about themselves basically see themselves as they are, not what they or the society at large wants them to be.

The statement that a person with a poor self-concept is more likely to be hired for a position, because they are easier to “mould” is false and an absolutely incorrect notion.

First of all, no organization is interested in hiring an individual with a poor self-concept because they can't add any value to the organization in the long-run.
