Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Unethical communication can distort the truth or manipulate audiences in a variety of ways. Examples of unethical communication include plagiarism, omitting essential information, selective misquoting, misrepresenting numbers, distorting visuals, and failing to respect privacy or information security needs. Jargon is the technical terminology of a special activity or group.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) An ethical dilemma involves choosing among alternatives that are not clear-cut. Perhaps two conflicting alternatives are both ethical and valid, or perhaps the alternatives lie somewhere in the gray area between clearly right and clearly wrong. Every company has responsibilities to multiple groups of people inside and outside the firm, and those various groups often have competing interests.
