Answer to Question 1

Answer: Although it isn't always thought of as an element of etiquette, your personal appearance in the workplace sends a strong signal to managers, colleagues, and customers. Pay attention to the style of dress where you work and adjust your style to match. Observe others and don't be afraid to ask for advice. It's not a question of mindlessly conforming or surrendering your individuality; it's a question of showing respect for an organizational culture that is bigger than you. If you're not sure, dress modestly and simplyearn a reputation for what you do, not for what you wear. Grooming is as important as attire. Pay close attention to cleanliness and avoid using products with powerful scents, such as perfumed soaps, colognes, shampoos, and after-shave lotions. Many people are bothered by these products, and some are allergic to them.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Remember that business meals are a forum for business, period. Don't discuss politics, religion, or any other topic that's likely to stir up emotions. Don't complain about work, don't ask deeply personal questions, avoid profanity, and be careful with humora joke that entertains some people could easily offend others.
