The _____ strategy is the political equivalent of "win some,lose some" and is possible in a long-term relationship where there is time for give-and-take exchange.

A) accommodating
B) competing
C) compromising
D) collaborating

The compromising strategy involves finding a solution that meets the needs of both parties to some extent, and is therefore a possible option in a long-term relationship where there is time for exchange. The accommodating strategy involves sacrificing one's own needs for the sake of the other, the competing strategy involves pursuing one's own goals at the expense of the other's, and the collaborating strategy involves working together to find a mutually beneficial solution, but may not always be possible in every situation.
