Okay, so i see that you need help with this question, and so it says jared works at the head office of a major athletic apparel company.
00:08
He's visiting a regional office to give a presentation about a new line of running apparel that features fabrics made using breakthrough technologies.
00:18
Mike is a sales representative at the regional office.
00:21
He's been looking forward to the presentation since he first heard about it.
00:24
Because he's an avid runner, he wants to learn about one of the breakthroughs, fabrics for running apparel that has a four -way stretch, which is waterproof, breathable, and lightweight.
00:39
On the day of the presentation, mike is running a bit late because he and his wife have a month -old baby, and mike hasn't been getting much sleep.

01:06
I'm sorry, that doesn't turn off.
01:09
Oh, so he's got his odds stacked up against him.
01:12
Even though mike is fascinated by the engaging presentation, the combination of the heater and the lack of sleep and the coffee or lack of coffee or lack of sleep and coffee caused him to nod off.
01:25
Jared notices that mike is falling asleep and becomes upset.
01:29
Jared worked very hard on this presentation and is offended that mike didn't find it interesting enough to stay awake.
01:35
After the presentation, he talks to mike's supervisor and insists that mike be disciplined for his rude and hostile behavior.
01:41
Jared's reaction to mike's nodding off during the presentation indicates which of the following.
01:46
So taking a look at the options here, a, jared understands that mike may be sending an unintentional message...
