Answer to Question 1

TRUE
Explanation: Since guidelines for acceptable office conversation are almost nonexistent in the contemporary age of openness, personalization, and transparency, you must decide what kinds of office talk are ethical and productive. Knowing who is approaching you for conversation, why they are approaching you, what they may talk about, and how you may keep the discussion productive and ethical can help you choose whether to engage or excuse yourself.
