Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) As a manager, you will find yourself in a variety of situations in which you have to convey bad news to individual employees or potential employees. Recipients have an emotional stake in these messages, so taking the indirect approach is usually advised. In addition, use great care in choosing your medium for each situation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Defamation is a false statement that damages someone's reputation. Written defamation is called libel; spoken defamation is called slander. To successfully sue for defamation, the aggrieved party must prove (1) that the statement is false, (2) that the language injures the person's reputation, and (3) that the statement has been communicated to others.
