Question

Candice tells Yuri that she wants to hear his ideas about the Q4 Finance Report, and Yuri says that they should compare it to last year’s report to see how they are doing. Candice says, “That’s a dumb idea, I want to see projections, not regressions!.” In this case, Candice is acting ________.
a.
Positively
b.
Assertively
c.
Arrogantly
d.
Passively

Answer 1

c.

Arrogantly

Explanation:

What Candice is saying here basically boils down to 'we don't need to compare this to last year's performance as I want to see positive results not negatives' insinuating that the performance has become worse in the last year.

Regressions in a financial report mean weaker performance over the fiscal year while projections mean that the performance was better.
