    “modicum of tolerance for dissent often prevents …………
    If you are tolerant than it would prevent something”-ve” so answer should be B) schism

  23. anna says:

    ANSWER IS C!

  24. Sid says:

    C.
    Low level of tolerance for difference in opinion prevents people from co-operating. This is also consistent with “low levels of serious conflict”, that is, no tolerance for differences in opinion and incompetent managers fail to realize that this is causing team members not to co-operate.

  25. karthik says:

  27. gill says:

    B is right answer becoz modicum(very less amount of sth) tolerance for dissent (noncooperation) b/w groups can make them never to be separate means in Schism

  28. srikanth says:
