E. Taking Corrective Actions

• A. A, D, B, C, E
• B. D, A, C, B, E
• C. B, C, A, E, D
• D. C, B, E, D, A

Hint:

Logic Tip: Performance appraisal follows the sequence — Set Standards → Measure → Compare → Discuss → Correct.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1:
The first step in performance appraisal is to establish and communicate standards to employees. \[ D = \text{First Step} \]

Step 2:
After standards are set, actual employee performance is measured. \[ A = \text{Second Step} \]

Step 3:
Measured performance is compared with predetermined standards. \[ C = \text{Third Step} \]

Step 4:
After comparison:
• Appraisal is discussed with employees
• Corrective actions are taken if necessary Thus: \[ B \rightarrow E \] Final order: \[ D,\; A,\; C,\; B,\; E \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(2) D, A, C, B, E}} \]
