Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Personal appearance is a key part of business etiquette, but only the component of personal appearance that is under your immediate control. Therefore, grooming and wardrobe matter in business etiquette, because they are under your immediate control. Your height and weight, on the other hand, are not under your immediate control, so they are not considered a part of business etiquette.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) To inform the speaker that you are following what is being said, short responses such as I see or brief clarifying questions are not only acceptable in business phone calls, but also highly recommended.
