Answer to Question 1

D
Proper body mechanics provide for even distribution of workload.

Answer to Question 2

D
Chinese-Americans view maintaining eye contact as ill mannered and disrespectful. They are uncomfortable when face-to-face, and prefer to sit side-to-side or at a right angle to carry on conversation. Touching is not usual during conversation; it is regarded as disrespectful or impolite.
