TEST B
 
 
Read the following passage about authority, and then answer the multiple-choice questions. 
 
Authority 
is a condition that allows one to exert influence or control over others. Gordon teaches 
that there are four different kinds of authority.
 
 
1. Authority E 
(expertise) is inherent in a person’s special knowledge, experience, 
training, skill, wisdom, and education. For example, your expertise as an artist 
enables you to exert influence over others in matters having to do with art.
2. Authority J
(job) comes with one’s job description. As principal of the school, your 
position enables you to influence educational decisions made by teachers, parents, 
and others.
