ANS: 2
Perceived or felt conflict is the feeling you have when you think someone is upset with you. When there is a perceived conflict, for any reason, people feel that something is going to happen. They are nervous and edgy, so it is important for you to talk to people individually in a pleasant and caring manner about their perception of the situation. After you have obtained enough information, you can return to the group and share the information with them.
