Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) IM and other text-based tools have taken over many exchanges that used to take place over the phone, but phone skills are still essential. Because phone calls lack the visual richness of face-to-face conversations, you have to rely on your attitude and tone of voice to convey confidence and professionalism.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) 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. 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.
