Question

question 8 of 10
a consequence can be defined as:

a. a method of eliminating a problem, generally by negotiation and mediation.

b. the result or outcome of something that occurred previously.

c. listening to and understanding what someone is saying, then repeating the information back to make sure you understood it correctly.

d. breaking down a problem to find a solution.

Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of "consequence", we analyze each option:

• Option A describes a method to solve a problem (like negotiation/mediation), not a consequence.
• Option B states a consequence is the result or outcome of a prior event, which matches the standard definition of "consequence".
• Option C defines active listening/paraphrasing, not a consequence.
• Option D describes problem - solving by breaking down a problem, not a consequence.

Answer:

B. the result or outcome of something that occurred previously.
