Answer 1

Answer:

Tactic Exchange

Explanation:

The approaching style of the student to his/her friend for help is of an influence categorized as the "Exchange Influence Tactic".

The Exchange Influence Tactic refers to when a person persuades someone or seeks influence over him/her by offering some sort of reward for their help rendered. It might also work by reminding other person of any favor which you offered in the past that should be repaid now.

Here the student is seeking help of his/her friend for completion of a final report for which he/she is already late. In exchange the student is assuring his/her friend the completion of certain spreadsheets which are pending on him/her. Hence, the student has used the exchange tactic to get his work done by offering a favor in response.
