Answer 1

Question 01: Although important, perceptions have only a minor impact on the way people respond to various situations.

Explanation: Perception plays a major role in determining how an individual responds to each and every situation. For example, If a person needs to buy a phone and he perceives that a particular phone will satisfy his needs, then chances are very high that the person will buy. Even in normal situations if a person perceives something to be boring, the individual does not pay much attention to it.

Question 02: Job enrichment

Explanation: Alternative work arrangement refers to the scheduling concept in which organizations get the same of the work in a reduced or alternative time schedule when compared with the traditional work schedule (like 5 days per week that adds 40 hours). Job enrichment only involves adding up the responsibilities or tasks to make them more motivating and has nothing to do with work arrangements.

Question 03: Level of difficulty

Explanation: Level of difficulty is a technical concept that expresses the level of technical skill, performance, or a course that can be used as a scoring factor. For example, Being proficient in a computer language (like C++, JAVA, etc.,) exhibits a high level of technical demands for an IT company.
