Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Your weakness should be a real weakness rather than a backhanded compliment. You will sound insincere if you suggest that your greatest weakness is that you work too hard or that you're a perfectionist. Mention a real weakness that shows you are aware of your shortcomings and are making an effort to enhance your skills.
