Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Using Twitter and other electronic media, audience members often carry on their own parallel communication during a presentation via the backchannel, which presentation expert Cliff Atkinson defines as a line of communication created by people in an audience to connect with others inside or outside the room, with or without the knowledge of the speaker.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) If you are asked a difficult or complex question, avoid the temptation to sidestep it. Offer to meet with the questioner afterward if the issue isn't relevant to the rest of the audience or if giving an adequate answer would take too long. If you don't know the answer, don't pretend you do. Instead, offer to get a complete answer as soon as possible.
