Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Leave business documents under your chair until entre plates have been removed; the business aspect of the meal doesn't usually begin until then. 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.
