Question

At their accounting meeting, Philipe tells Justin to stop making foolish comments. Justin, who felt he was being treated unfairly, says nothing for the remainder of the meeting. In this example, Justin was acting _______. a. Positively b. Assertively c. Arrogantly d. Passively

Answer 1

d. Passively

Answer 2

d. Passively

Step-by-step explanation:

Passively is derived from the word passive. Passive means not reacting visibly. Acting passively means not participating readily or actively. It is accepting what happens or allowing others to things without active response or resistance.

Acting passively involves looking at, or listening, or watching to things rather than doing things. Justin was just seated and listening but was saying nothing.
