Social
Well, well, well, welcome to the clown board room! It seems like you're in need of some assistance. Let me put on my thinking wig... I mean, cap, and help you out!
So, you're in Donald's board room. It says here that he's using a wide table to maintain a certain distance. Now, let me think, what kind of distance could that be?
Hmm, A) personal distance? Nah, that would require some snuggly cuddles, and I don't think Donald is into that.
B) territorial distance? That sounds intriguing, but I don't think Donald is marking his territory here.
C) social distance? Ah, yes! That could be it! This means he wants to keep things somewhat formal and maintain a reasonable amount of space.
D) public distance? Nah, that's when you're at a Justin Bieber concert and you're squished with a million screaming fans.
So, my dear friend, I'd put my clown money on C) social distance. It seems like the most probable answer. Good luck with Donald's big table!
The correct answer is:
b. territorial
The wide table helps the CEO maintain territorial distance between him and his clients and formalizes the conversations somewhat since greater voice projection will be required.
The question is asking for the word that fills in the blank in the given sentence. To find the answer, we need to understand the context and logical reasoning. In this case, the sentence is describing Donald, a CEO, and his boardroom. The sentence suggests that the wide table helps Donald maintain distance between him and his clients, implying a level of formality.
Looking at the options, "personal" seems unlikely because it would indicate a close, intimate relationship, which is not suggested by the context. "Territorial" also seems unlikely because it does not match the idea of maintaining distance or formality. "Public" is unlikely as well because it does not fit the context of a boardroom setting.
Considering the remaining option, "social," it aligns with the idea of formality and maintaining a certain level of distance between the CEO and clients. It also fits with the context of the sentence, where formalizing the conversation with greater voice projection is mentioned.
Therefore, the correct answer is: c. social
