Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, the missing question read;

Version 1: George walks away. He never talks to Elaine or Jerry again.

Version 2: George confronts Elaine, saying “I am angry about what you have been saying. I do not want you spreading rumors about me. If you have a problem, please see me about it.”

Version 3: George yells at Elaine to shut u.p and then confronts his boss demanding to know why he’s going to be fired.

Version 4: George demands that Elaine tell him where she heard that. Elaine tells him not to worry about it and tries to crack a joke about how much the boss is late.

• Version 3: confrontational
• Version 4: confrontational and cooperative

3. Confrontation occurs in this scenario as we are told that "George... then confronts his boss demanding to know why he’s going to be fired. "
