Answer 1

Robert is walking down the street late at night in New York City when a man in a ski mask suddenly sticks a gun in his face and takes his wallet. Sociologists would say that Robert's mugger had power but not authority.

Answer 2

The correct answers are power; authority.
The mugger had all the power - he had a gun, and Robert had to do what the criminal asked him to do, which was give him his wallet. On the other hand, what the mugger didn't have was authority because he hid his face behind a mask as he was too afraid of being recognized or caught.
