Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Meetings can be a waste of time if they aren't planned and managed well. You can help ensure productive meetings by preparing carefully, conducting meetings efficiently, and using meeting technologies wisely. Before the meeting begins, carefully select participants, identify the purpose of the meeting, and set the meeting's location and agenda. In some situations, when attempting to identify the purpose for a meeting or setting its agenda, you may decide that the purpose or agenda are unclear or inappropriate. In that case, cancel the meeting to avoid wasting people's time.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) The success of a meeting depends on the preparation of the participants. Therefore, distribute the agenda before the meeting begins, being sure to allow participants sufficient time to prepare for the meeting. Allow participants to review the meeting agenda before the meeting begins. That way, they can have the option of doing some preparing of their own for the meeting, which may include researching, compiling data, or preparing documents.
