The "calm waters" metaphor envisions an organization as ________
A) a large ship on a roiling sea
B) a large ship on a calm sea
C) a small raft on a calm sea
D) a small raft on a roiling sea
Answer: B
Explanation: The "calm waters" metaphor sees the organization as a large ship that is fairly imperturbable sailing on calm seas, barely noticing the changes that occur. This makes "a large ship on a calm sea" the correct response and eliminates the two choices regarding a small raft because they match the organization with a raft, not a ship. It rules out "a large ship on a roiling sea" because it characterizes the water as roiling instead of calm.
