Answer: A, B, D

Explanation:

The three terms which Scholtes actually used are feuding, plops and wanderlust. Jousting is entirely made-up for this test.

Feuds are arguments based on personality or background.

Plops are ideas expressed by a team member, and ignored by everyone else. They just plop and are ignored.

Wanderlust is when the team or elements of it go off at a tangent, discussing irrelevant issues.
