Police Recruit
Nepotism describes an employer who:
A. is excessively dictatorial.
B. violates established office practices.
C. shows favoritism to relatives.
D. is hypercritical.
Solution
Answer
The answer is C. shows favoritism to relatives.
Explanation
Option A: is excessively dictatorial.
This option describes a leadership style that is authoritarian and controlling, but it does not specifically relate to nepotism.
Option B: violates established office practices.
While nepotism might involve violating office practices, this option is too broad and does not specifically address the concept of favoritism towards relatives.
Option C: shows favoritism to relatives.
Nepotism is defined as the practice of giving preferential treatment to relatives, especially in employment or other opportunities. This option accurately describes the concept of nepotism.
Option D: is hypercritical.
Being hypercritical refers to someone who is excessively critical or judgmental, which is unrelated to the concept of nepotism.
