    A dissent, shortchanged Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B approval, reprimanded Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C contentment, undervalued Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D apathy, favored Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Dissent refers to disagreement or opposition, which suits the context of employees reacting negatively to a decision.Shortchanged means being treated unfairly or given less than what is due, which logically follows employees feeling mistreated.Approval, reprimanded – These words contradict each other and do not fit logically.Contentment, undervalued – "Contentment" means satisfaction, which does not match the context of employees feeling mistreated.Apathy, favored – "Apathy" means lack of interest, which does not align with employees reacting to a decision.Thus, the best choice is:(1) dissent, shortchanged.
