Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Buying Chaquila chocolates and taking her to dinner at her favorite restaurant are examples of signaling, as they are actions taken by Marcus to communicate his love and commitment to her before proposing marriage. Options A, B, and C are not examples of signaling as they are requirements or precautions taken by third parties (auto mechanic, doctor, firm) before taking an action (buying car, writing policy, hiring).
