Answer 1

Solution:

1. Option D - Doubt
   Doubt is the odd option out of all the options according to the appreciative inquiry because all the elements of Appreciative inquiry demonstrate positivity and strengths. Hence, option D is the correct option.
   
2. Option E - Encourage resistance to change.
   Not encouraging acceptance of change is definitely not an attribute associated with the adaptive work environment. Hence, the correct choice is option E.
   
3. Option E - Structural Change
   The change has changed the organization and its structural policies. Hence, this is an example of changes in the structural policies of the organization.
   
4. Option D - Cultural Change
   There are changes in the way organization culture was compared to previous state. Now the culture of the organization is fostering the innovating work environment and hence is helping employees come out more creative. Hence, this is an example of cultural change.
   
5. Option B - Dreaming
   The logical step after discovery as per Appreciative inquiry is of Dreaming. Hence, option B is correct.
