Your roommate wants to learn about organization charts. You can tell her that an organization chart can tell you all of the foll
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Control mechanisms.

Explanation:

Organization charts are tree-like structures, commonly detailed from the top-most job position to the lowest job position available. Seeing an organizational chart would allow you to recognize what positions are under the supervision of a higher job position, illustrating the formal structure of the organization at hand.

It is possible to have knowledge of reporting relationships from just seeing the organizational chart based on this display. You would also be able to have a general overview of the work division between each department by seeing the organization.

However, it is not possible to know which control mechanisms are used by each position to execute their management functions. Control mechanisms are, for example, budgets, reports, and performance reviews. This information is never displayed in an organizational chart.

How do the events in this poem connect to the first poem we read, “1975: Year of the Cat,” and the title of the novel, Inside Ou
Serga [27]

Answer: The poem “1975: Year of the Cat”, is about a ten-year-old girl who has only known her hometown and is encouraged by her family to have hope in life, but restricted to stay home. The title of the novel "Inside Out & Back Again" suggests a desire to get out of a place, but being put back for some reason, having then a similar plot to the first poem.

Explanation: We can encounter several similarities with both stories. The poem “1975: Year of the Cat,” tells the story of a little girl being trapped in her house by the family and society rules. However, she is encouraged by her mother to have hope in life. On the other hand, the novel "Inside Out & Back Again" tells the story of a girl the same age, who is also very united to her family, but somehow forced to stay inside due to the horrible place they moved to. Although the plot is not told in the title of the novel, the reader can infer that a back and forth situation occurs.

Reading a stream of consciousness narrative is like _____
alexgriva [62]
I believe it is the first choice, reading a journal that is unedited and unorganized.

This is because your stream of consciousness is whatever comes to mind, unedited, not necessarily factual nor easy to understand.
