Question:

DIRECTIONS: There are two gaps in each of the following sentences. From the pairs of words given, choose the one that fills the gaps most appropriately. The first word in the pair should fill the first gap.


Companies that try to improve employees’ performance by _____ rewards encourage negative kinds of behavior instead of _____ a genuine interest in doing the work well.

Options:
A) giving, seeking 
B) bestowing, discouraging
C) conferring, discrediting 
D) withholding, fostering
Solution:
Ans: (d) Negative reinforcements foster negative behavior. (a), (b) and (c) are easily ruled out as giving, bestowing or conferring rewards cannot possibly encourage negative behaviour. Withholding and fostering thus presents the right situation here.
