Read the following passage and answer the question below: 

Social skill concerns a person's ability to manage relationships with others. As a component of emotional intelligence, social skill si not as simple as it sounds. It's not just a matter of friendliness, although people with high levels of social skill are rarely mean-spirited. Social skill, rather, is friendliness with a purpose; moving people in the direction you desire, whether that's agreement on a new marketing strategy or enthusiasm about a new product. Socially skilled people tend to have a wide circle of acquaintances, and they have a knack for finding common ground with people of all kinds-a knack for building rapport. That doesn't mean they socialize continually; it means they work according to the assumption that nothing important gets done alone. Such people have a network in place when the time for action comes. Social skill is the culmination of the other dimension of emotional intelligence. People tend to be very effective at managing relationships when they can understand and control their own emotions and can empathize with the feelings of others. Event motivation contributes to social skill. Remember that people who are driven to achieve tend to be optimistic, even in the face of setbacks of failure. When people are upbeat, their "glow" is cast upon conversations and other social encounters. They are popular, and for good reason. Because it is the outcome of the other dimensions of emotional intelligence, social skill is recognizable on the job int many ways that will by now sound familiar. Socially skilled people, for instance, are adept at managing teams-that's their empathy at work. Likewise, they are expert persuaders-a manifestation of self awareness, self-regulation and empathy combined. Given those skills, good persuaders know when to make an emotional plea, for instance, and when an appeal to reason will work better. And motivation, when publicly visible, makes such people excellent collaborators; their passion for the work spreads to others, and they are driven to find solutions. But sometimes social skill shows itself in ways the other emotional intelligence components do not. For instance, socially skilled people may at times appear not be working while at work. They seem to be idly schmoozing-chatting in the hallways with colleagues or joking around with people who are not even connected to their "real" jobs. Socially skilled people, however, don't think it makes sense to arbitrarily limit the scope of their relationships. They build bonds widely because they know that in these fluid times, they may need help someday from people they are just getting to know today.
