Adjustment? More like 'Adjusting his monocle and sipping tea with the Queen' stage, amirite? This guy's got the whole cross-cultural thing down to a tea!

Adjustment, definitely. The manager's got the international experience on lock. Though I'd love to know what kind of wacky British snacks he's been trying. Marmite, maybe?

Culture shock? Nah, that's no way to describe this guy's experience. He's rocking this assignment! I'm betting on Adjustment as the correct answer.

I think Adjustment makes sense, he seems to be adapting well to the new environment.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. The Honeymoon stage seems tempting, but I'm going to go with Mastery. The manager's eagerness for future international assignments tells me he's got the cross-cultural thing down pat.
