Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Facilitator → Meera guides a team meeting to ensure all voices are heard and consensus is reached 2. Coach → Olumide helps team members at Paragon Projects develop new skills through mentoring sessions 3. Negotiator → Solange meets with functional managers to secure shared resources for competing priorities 4. Listener → Vesna holds one-on-one meetings to understand team concerns before making decisions

Explanation

A facilitator guides group processes and discussions (Meera's meeting). A coach develops others' capabilities through mentoring (Olumide's skill development). A negotiator works to reach agreements among parties with different interests (Solange securing resources). A listener actively seeks to understand others' perspectives before acting (Vesna's one-on-ones).

**Why not A:** This option assigns Listener activities to the Facilitator and Facilitator activities to the Listener. Holding one-on-one meetings to understand concerns demonstrates Listening, while guiding team meetings to reach consensus demonstrates Facilitation.

**Why not C:** This option assigns Coach activities to the Facilitator, Negotiator activities to the Coach, Listener activities to the Negotiator, and Facilitator activities to the Listener — all four matches are incorrect.

**Why not D:** This option assigns Negotiator activities to the Facilitator, Listener activities to the Coach, Facilitator activities to the Negotiator, and Coach activities to the Listener — every role is matched to the wrong demonstration scenario.
