Question

multiple choice question
drivers obeying speed limits in order to avoid expensive speeding tickets is a form of using ______ to overcome opposition.
obedience
coercion
a reward
persuasion

Explanation:

Coercion involves using force, threats, or penalties to make someone act in a certain way. Here, the threat of expensive speeding tickets (penalty) is what makes drivers obey speed - limits. Obedience is more about following authority without the element of threat. A reward is something positive given for an action, which is not the case here. Persuasion is about using arguments or communication to convince someone, which is also not applicable in this context.

Answer:

B. coercion
