Which step describes taking on the duties and responsibilities of the relieved position?

• A. Preview the position
• B. Verbal briefing
• C. Assumption of position responsibility
• D. Review the position

Answer: (C)

This question tests how someone transitions into the duties of a relieved position. The best fit is the moment you assume the position responsibility—where you actually take over the duties, authority, and accountability of the role and begin performing its tasks to ensure continuity. It’s about moving from understanding what the job entails to actively carrying it out. Previewing the position is about looking ahead at what the job requires, not taking over its duties. Verbal briefing involves receiving information about the role, not embodying the responsibilities. Reviewing the position is about analyzing or assessing the role to prepare, not stepping into it and handling its tasks.
