Unenlightened authoritarian managers rarely recognize a crucial reason for the low levels of serious conflict among members of democratically run work groups: a modicum of tolerance for dissent often prevents ___________.
A) demur
B) schism
C) cooperation
D) compliance
E) shortsightedness
I think its B
Becoz modicum (small amount) of tolerance prevents SCHISM (split)
I think its C.
coz, from the first segment of the sentence describes the democratic work environment has a lower rate of conflict among the co-workers and the unenlightened authoritarian managers are unaware of that. In the second segment the claim is supported by saying low level of tolerance ( which implies the team do not practice democracy rather authoritative ) must give rise to higher rate of conflicts ( prevents cooperation) if there exists any difference of opinion.
C
