At a theatre, a duty manager wearing a lanyard gives two direct orders to Amina, a volunteer usher. Her responses are shown in the table.
| Order | Amina's response |
|---|---|
| Put these six undamaged programmes in the bin. | Amina puts two of the programmes in the bin and then stops. |
| Step away from an exposed electrical cable. | Amina steps away immediately. |
Explain how Amina's degree of obedience changes between the two orders.
The duty manager later tells Amina to tear up a box of usable posters. Explain whether Amina's response is likely to be more similar to her response to the first order or the second order.
