Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Texting and emailing during a meeting sends a message that the meeting is less important than the text or email being sent. Mobile devices should only be used to support the meeting, in ways such as note taking, etc., or put away. In the event there is a call that must be answered, explain to the presenter ahead of time that you might have to step out to take a call. Make the call short.
