I’m torn between legitimate and expert power. I know legitimate is about authority, but could it be referring to something else?

I think this is about the legitimate power, right? It’s the one that comes from a person's position or role.

Ugh, I'm really struggling with this one. The French and Raven sources of power are kind of tricky to remember, and I'm not sure I fully understand how they map to this scenario. I might have to guess on this one.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that the question is talking about a person's formal authority or status, which means it's referring to the "Legitimate" power source from French and Raven. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The question is talking about formal authority or status, but I'm not sure if that maps directly to the French and Raven framework. I might need to review that theory again before answering.

This one seems pretty straightforward. The question is asking about the French and Raven sources of power, and the description matches the "Legitimate" power source.

Alright, alright, let's keep it professional here. The answer is clearly C) Legitimate power. I'm just glad we're not talking about 'coercive power' - that's the one where you threaten to take away someone's kneecaps if they don't cooperate.

Haha, Lasandra is on the right track! Legitimate power is like being the boss - you can make people do things just because you said so. Not as fun as having a horse's head in their bed, but it gets the job done!

Wait, isn't legitimate power the one where your subordinates have to do what you say or else you'll 'make them an offer they can't refuse'? I may have been watching too many mob movies...
