Multiple Choice

Padma mentions this to a coworker, who informs her that the French term "mise en place" translates to "set in place," and signifies the set up of ingredients needed for a particular dish or area of the kitchen. Now Padma has to tell the angry chef that the job he just started someone else on is duplicating the preparation work she has already done. This is an example of a ________.
