Answer 1

Shay is preparing to go into her meeting with her supervisor, Jill, to discuss her annual evaluation. She knows that there have been a few times this year where she could have performed better and she does not want to get angry in the meeting. Last night and on the ride in this morning, she rehearsed what she anticipated Jill would tell her and what her response would be. Shay was trying to  resist being defensive - True

Explanation:

The word Resist refers to the act of  withstanding  the action or effect of something. An act that is done with an  intention to protect oneself or defend from the challenge or avoiding criticism is defensive. When we do something wrong or when we are in a situation to avoid criticism by others who may be our co workers we tend to defend our self.

When we are having confidence in  the things that we do then we will try top resist what others says by explaining them the actual thing. In the given scenario, Shay is preparing how to answer the questions that Jill shoots in the meeting because he has the confidence in the work she performed. Thus, Shay is trying to resist Jill than being defensive.
