Coffee Company a U.S. Firm went to a U.S. Court to order the property that was taken in the Dominican Republic government. <u>This is an application of Sovereign Immunity doctrine</u>. So the correct option will be option "c"

In other words, it is a format of survey that provides questions that eliminate Don’t Know and Neutral response options, such that, it forces respondents to express an opinion or attitude.

The forced choice format increases the number of survey records with responses that are usable for analysis. Hence, Forced Choice personality tests offer a much more accurate measurement of candidate’s personality even though it is difficult to construct and leads to losing in scale.

Forced-choice would be more suitable for assessing higher management or those with high cognitive skills and a simple personality test would be ideal for freshers.
