Question

John from sales has just sent you an e-mail. He needs a decision made on the Johnson account as soon as possible. You can make the decision, but you feel like you’d like to ask your boss for her advice. Unfortunately, she is in a business meeting, and the decision needs to be made very soon. You decide to take the initiative and ______.

a.
Interrupt your boss to make the decision
b.
Ask a coworker to make the decision
c.
Wait to make the decision
d.
Make the decision

Answer 1

D. Make the decision

Step-by-step explanation:

The decision needs to be made as soon as possible. Answers B and C both require extra time, which is not an option here. That leaves A and D as possibilities. Answer A makes the least sense of the 4 options (as it would be extremely unprofessional to interrupt a meeting), leaving D as the only reasonable choice.
