Answer: Selective expectation
Explanation: Selective expectation refers to the psychological cognitive bias that makes one perceive what they want or think they need to perceive. In other words, what someone expects to be the outcome of his action, such as Eric, affects his perception of Sara. This means that what Eric biases to happen if he wants to talk to Sara about his problems and difficulties in the workplace, determines his perception of Sara, meaning in Eric's opinion that Sara won't want or have the time to listen to him. However, apart from the biased expectation of determining someone's, say Eric's, observations, they are influenced by the degree to which something stands out. If Sara is often unable to deal with employees' problems because of a job that works, then it is visible and highlighted as something that will determine one's, Eric's, perception of her more often as a manager who is uninterested in employee problems, than a manager is stuck business.
Perhaps, if Eric would approach his problems decisively and eloquently, and without any expectation in advance, but only with a determined attitude to present his problems, Sara as a top manager would probably listen to him.

A. True
Explanation:
The Spoils System or patronage system was the name given to hiring and firing federal workers when the presidential administration changed and President Andrew Jackson took the office in the 19th century. The suspicious nature of the president that there were many people in the government who are opposed to him, made him to make an official program where loyalist was hired in place of the earlier federal employees. President Garfield's shooting helped inspire the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act that civil servants should not be appointed or fired as a result of politics.
