a. Referent power
b. Expert power
c. Coercive power
d. Reward power

Melanie has used "EXPERT POWER " over Janice. Option B is the most correct option.

Explanation: Expert power is the power one uses, because he/she has a more knowledge to perform a particular task over others. It is the power an expert in a job task uses over a manager, to always select him/her to perform that job task. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo is an expert in playing football, this is the power he uses to be the most preferred player by any coach, among his teammates.

Melanie is a professional in event planning, it is assumed she is an expert, this is why her sister Janice has to give her the role, because she is an expert in planning an event.

It is not referent power because Melanie did not ask for the role. It is not coercive power because Melanie did not use force on her, to get the role. It is not reward power because Melanie has not paid her or given anything to make her sister Janice to choose her.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
