Answer to Question 1

Answer: False
Explanation: If someone uses a question to try to take over the meeting, look for an opportunity to regain control of the discussion. Don't dismiss or insult the questioner by indicating that the question is irrelevant or off point. Instead, refer to the meeting agenda or the map of the presentation to get back on track.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: False
Explanation: In Europe and Asia, audiences often prefer presentations that are slower and offer them an opportunity to think carefully and process information. U.S. audiences often prefer a fast-paced presentation style that quickly gets to the point.
