Mick brings Bruno a boomerang from Australia.
Bruno thanks him by telling Mick that he is very .
Bruno thanks him by telling Mick that he is very .
Mick brings Bruno a boomerang from Australia.
Bruno thanks him by telling Mick that he is very considerate.
Bruno thanks him by telling Mick that he is very considerate.
considerate: Bruno tells Mick that bringing the boomerang with him is very "thoughtful". The word "thoughtful" means "considerate" in this context. We could also say that Mick's gesture is "nice" or "kind".
wise: In a different context, "thoughtful" can mean "reflective" or "wise". For example, we could say "Susie's answers to Bruno's questions were very thoughtful". However, when we describe an action as being "thoughtful", especially the action of giving a gift or present, we mean that the gesture is "kind" or considerate.
sage: In a different context, "thoughtful" can mean "reflective" or "wise". For example, we could say "Susie's answers to Bruno's questions were very thoughtful". However, when we describe an action as being "thoughtful", especially the action of giving a gift or present, "we mean that the gesture is 'kind" or considerate.
smart: Do not confuse "thoughtful" with "smart" or "intelligent". The terms have different meanings, especially in this context.

Correct. "Petty" is an adjective which describes situations of trivial or small importance. Example: the policeman was being very petty when he asked me all those unimportant questions. In this conversation, Horatio and Bruno argue about very small matters: who will sit down first, who will follow Donna to her office, etc. These arguments could be described as "petty", "trivial" or "unimportant".
Correct. A "stubborn" person is obstinate and inflexible. Stubborn people rarely change their opinion. Example: the stubborn policeman refused to listen to my side of the story. Horatio and Bruno are being very stubborn in these two scenes. When Bruno says, "I'll sit when I want to sit" he is acting like a "stubborn" child.
This is incorrect. Although Bruno and Horatio are old friends, their behavior to each other in this conversation is certainly not "friendly". "Friendly" behavior is kind and pleasant, for example: "the friendly policeman helped my grandmother across the street".
This is incorrect. "Considerate" behavior shows regard or respect for the needs of others. Example: The considerate policeman accompanied me to the gas station.' In these two scenes, Bruno and Horatio are not acting in a considerate way. They are being rude, and aren't interested in respecting each other's feelings.
Correct. An "argumentative" person is someone who looks for an argument or a dispute, or has a tendency to argue. Horatio and Bruno are angry with each other, and don't show any signs of wanting to reconcile their differences. They disagree on nearly everything. Their behavior could easily be described as "argumentative". Note that this adjective is totally unrelated to the idea of debate or "argument" in the sense of stating an opinion for or against a given topic.

Which of the following sentences accurately describe Brian's definitions of a good manager? There may be more than one correct answer!
Which of the following sentences accurately describe Brian's definitions of a good manager? There may be more than one correct answer!
This is correct. Brian says that a good manager "knows how to relate to people". To "relate to" someone is to establish (usually good) relations with them. For example: I am good at relating to children so I became a school teacher.
This is incorrect. When Brian says that "a good manager is someone who knows how to relate to people", he doesn't mean that the manager should be in the same family as those people. "To relate to someone" means to understand someone and establish good relations with them.
This is incorrect. Brian says that a good manager should be "empowering". To "empower (someone)" means to give or "delegate" power, authority or autonomy to others. Example: The election of a black president empowered black people, and they were encouraged to try to attain positions of authority.
This is correct. Brian thinks that a good manager should be "considerate". "Considerate" behavior shows regard or respect for the needs of others. Example: The considerate policeman accompanied me to the gas station.'
