Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Dwelling on a person's failures does little but make the person feel bad. Since your goal is productivity, the best way to criticize is to focus on how to improve things in the future, not what went wrong in the past. Past errors should receive a lot of focus only if they offer keys in how to improve in the future.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) An example of a euphemism is to call an overweight person full figured. The phrase communicates the idea that the person is overweight without using the label of fat or overweight.
