Answer:

True

Explanation:

As per the contract, the builder is supposed to receive the payment once the entire building is fully completed. When a tornado struck the area and demolished the building, the contractor finds himself at square one with nothing to show for.

The law is enforced in literal terms and unless a fully constructed building stands there, the contract will not be fulfilled and he will not be paid.

Therefore the statement above is true in its form.

Think about the last time you experienced very ineffective communication with another person— someone you work with, a classmate
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

The last time I experienced ineffective communication was when I tried talking to my younger sibling on the dangers of anger. I had noticed that she always threw tantrums and would always get angry when she did not get her way.

1. The communication was ineffective because I used bogus words which she found difficult to understand. In a statement I made, I mentioned that 'anger was inimical and detrimental as it predisposes a person to health issues which could lead to death'. This sentence was ineffective as she did not understand the meaning of inimical and detrimental and the possibility of death scared her.

2. The encoding and decoding stages were problematic. The encoding stage was problematic because I did not really understand the level of knowledge of my receiver. The decoding stage was also problematic because the receiver was lost as to the meaning of the words I used and misinterpreted the message.

3. Filtering is the withholding of information by a sender because he feels the receiver might not need the information. I filtered the meaning of the big words I used which were not age-appropriate.

4. I should have used words that would be understood by a five-year-old.  This means that instead of using inimical and detrimental, I would have used bad or not good. Death was also not a good example to have used. I would have said that anger would make us not to be loved by our friends or any other lighter example.

What are crimes committed by an individual for personal gain and profit during the course of their occupation?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: Occupational crimes

Explanation: Occupational crimes which are also called workplace crimes can be simply refered to as wrongdoings by people over the course of their work or employment. For example, you work as a typist at a university examination office and an exam question was submitted by a lecturer . Going through the paper, you realized that it is one of the exams to written by your friend the following day and you quickly rush home to tell him about the questions submitted by the lecturer. You might have done this because you want your friend to study that particular question prior to him sitting for the exams so that he can pass with flying colors but then you have committed a workplace crime/ occupational crime.
