Answer:E. Laura worked closely with Amanda over a period of eight months.

Explanation: As a manager, Laura has worked with Amanda for a period of time. As her manager, supervising her work over a period of time made her feel she is capable of handling a project on her own without been supervised or told what to do. But she is wrong or has been proven wrong by Amanda's inability to handle the project as the project is falling behind schedule.
