Answer:

Answer:

that the co-worker stops breathing

Explanation:

The greatest concern at this point in the situation would be that the co-worker stops breathing. Asthma attacks tend to shrink or close the air canals in your throat thus making it very difficult to breathe. If the individual suffering from this begins to panic and hyperventilate, then they can lose consciousness and stop breathing. If this were to happen the loss of oxygen to the brain for a period of time can cause serious brain damage or even death if not treated immediately.

Answer:

Explanation:

Even though the tail was necessary in wildness to keep the balance specially when hunting, in the domestic life it doesn't affect the dog's survival because they no longer have to fight for food, in wildness it could affect his breeding possibilities or even the possibility to be eaten, but now it doesn't.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Letter of recommendation.

Explanation:

The letter of recommendation effect can be understood as the tendency that individuals have to provide biased positive assessments of someone being evaluated mainly because they know and like the person.

So they perceive them as being more responsible, conscientious and less neurotic which in turns results in providing unrealistically positive assessments.

When people like another person they tend to unconsiously exaggerate their positive traits and minimize the negative ones. In informant ratings this is called the Letter of recommendation effect.
