Asking the speaker for their handouts for a presentation when you arrive is an example of _____.

• A. An assignment control
• B. Access control
• C. Time control
• D. Resource control

Answer: (A)

The situation focuses on how materials or tasks are allocated to you during a presentation. By asking the speaker for their handouts when you arrive, you’re taking action to secure the items that accompany your assigned role or participation in the talk. This centers on controlling the assignment of resources—ensuring you receive what’s been allocated for your part in the event or activity. It isn’t primarily about restricting access to others, the timing of distribution, or the materials themselves as a resource, but about who is assigned to receive and use those materials.
