Explanation & Key Takeaways: The passage clearly explains the relationship between what managers do and the skills they require. • Statement A is correct because the passage explicitly states that managers get things done through other people. • Statement B is also correct, as the passage emphasizes that managers must have good human skills—such as understanding, communicating with, motivating, and supporting others. • Statement A is the reason for Statement B because since managers achieve goals through other people, they necessarily require strong human skills to manage relationships, resolve conflicts, and motivate teams effectively. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3: Statements A and B are correct and A is the reason for statement B.
