Write a report on your team and the importance of building working relationships with colleagues

wlad13 [49]

Human beings are naturally social creatures – we crave friendship and positive interactions, just as we do food and water. So it makes sense that the better our relationships are at work, the happier and more productive we're going to be.
Good working relationships give us several other benefits: our work is more enjoyable when we have good relationships with those around us. Also, people are more likely to go along with changes that we want to implement, and we're more innovative and creative.

What's more, good relationships give us freedom: instead of spending time and energy overcoming the problems associated with negative relationships, we can, instead, focus on opportunities.

Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger.”

My name is Ann [436]

This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find the complete question online. The choices are the following:

A. to reveal that the outcome of the trial is decided by luck.

B. to show that the verdict is predetermined.

C. to reveal that the defendants are in control of the verdict.

D. to emphasize that the trial is completely fair.

Answer:

The author's purpose for describing the two doors as absolutely identical is:

A. to reveal that the outcome of the trial is decided by luck.

Explanation:

"The Lady, or the Tiger" is a short story by American author and humorist Frank Richard Stockton (18340-1902). In the story, a king is described as semi-barbaric, which shows he is only partially civilized. He understands the importance of a trial to decide whether someone is guilty of a crime or not. However, the trial he comes up with is absurd, and the outcome is decided by sheer luck.

The person being accused of the crime is led to an arena. There, he is supposed to choose between two doors. Behind one of them, he will find a beautiful maiden. Behind the other one, he will find a tiger. The doors are completely identical - nothing about them reveals what is behind them. Thus, it is really a matter of luck whether the man will choose the lady or the tiger. If he chooses the door with the maiden, he is found innocent, and his reward is to marry her immediately. If he chooses the door with the tiger, he is found guilty, and his punishment is to be eaten by the animal.

As we can see, it does not matter whether the person really committed a crime or not. What matters is how lucky he is to choose to right door.
