[B]Read the passage to answer question 9-10[/B]

There is no trick to motivating others. It requires a clear, unbiased understanding of the situation at hand, deep insight into the vagaries of human nature at both the individual and the group levels, the establishment of appropriate and reasonable expectations and goals, and the construction of a balanced set of tangible and intangible incentives. It requires, in other words, hard thinking and hard work. And when an organization is under strain or is in crisis, the challenges-and the stakes-become that much higher. The questions that managers have to grapple with as they try to inspire their people are many and complex: How do you deal with individuals or groups at different motivation levels that vary in different ways? How can you influence the behavior of a single individual, let alone an organization of hundreds or thousands? How can you help people feel enthusiastic and committed, especially in difficult times?

9. According to the passage

A. motivating others is not difficult
B. motivating others is impossible
C. motivating others is not impossible, but difficult
D. motivating others is possible and not difficult

10. Which of the following is not a true statement?

A. In order to motivate others, managers have to deal with difficult questions.
B. Managers can easily influence the behavior of hundreds and thousands of people.
C. Managers should know how to deal with people at different motivational levels.
D. It is not easy to help people feel enthusiastic in difficult times.
