A. created.
B. delegated.
C. assigned.
D. expected.
E. accepted.

B. Delegated

Explanation:

Brandon realised that even though he had handed over responsibility to another person, to prepare a sales presentation for an important potential client and necessary expenditure, he requires dress rehearsals to be done before the main presentation, he realised accountability cannot be delegated because even if tasks can be delegated, accountability cannot.

If something goes wrong with the presentation and the client is lost, all the blame would fall on Brandon and not the subordinate because the subordinate is merely representing Brandon's interests.

He also knows that if there is a success in the presentation, the praise comes to Brandon because he made the decision to give the subordinate the responsibility.

With all this in mind, Brandon constantly required dress rehearsals so his subordinate would nail the presentation.
