Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: expatriate assignment.

Explanation:

To begin with, the term of expatriate refers to the person who is currently living abroad in a certain amount of time and primarily for work reasons. This professional worker takes a position outside her home country and that could be done as part of a work assignment scheduled by the employer of the individual. Moreover, expatriate assigment individuals also earn more money than the regular workers at home and furthermore the company generally helps the expatriate in relocation assistance and housing allowance.

Secondly, the case of Marika is a general example of expatriate assigment due to the fact that her company may have ordered her to leave for a period of time to other countries in order to find news and investigate about certain topics and in order to do that the company will pay her so she can do her job properly and then go back home and share her information with her colleagues.
