Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deference refers to yielding to the authority, opinion or wishes of another person, even though the individual may disagree. In this scenario, the employee is not openly opposing or resisting the supervisor's order, but instead deferring to their authority. A is incorrect because demeanour refers to the outward behavior and appearance of an individual. B is incorrect because facial expression refers specifically to the movements and expressions of the face, which may or may not indicate disagreement with the supervisor's order. D is incorrect because verbal communication refers to the use of language to convey meaning, but the scenario does not specify whether the employee expressed their disagreement verbally or not.
