Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Effective networks should have a proper balance between the breadth of contacts (having a wide range of connections or relationships) and the depth or strength of contacts (having strong, trustworthy relationships with key individuals or organizations). This allows for both access to diverse opportunities and high-quality information from trusted sources.

Answer: C 
 Effective networks should include a group of non-redundant contacts (meaning there is no overlap or repetition of contacts) that provide access to a wide range of potential opportunities. This allows for a diverse range of opportunities and connections.

Answer: None of the above 
 Option B and D describe networks that are not necessarily effective, as they do not provide a balance between breadth and depth of contacts nor do they ensure access to a wide range of potential opportunities. Therefore, the best choice is neither B nor D.
