Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: Difficult economic conditions may have contributed to the failure of the companies listed, but many of their competitors faced the same challenge and did not go bankrupt. There is no evidence that corruption had undue influence on any of these failed enterprises. Regulation was also not a likely cause of their problems since again, competitors somehow managed to survive and even flourish under the same or similar circumstances. This leaves poor management as the primary cause of the failure of each company.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: A small business manager is usually a generalist. He or she may map out planning strategy like a top manager at one point in a day and supervise workers like a first-line manager during a different point in a day.
