Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) According to research by Linda Babcock of Carnegie Mellon University, both men and women tend to accept disparity between men and women, viewing assertiveness as a positive quality in men but a negative quality in women. Changing these perceptions could go a long way toward improving communication and equity in the workplace.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Recognizing our own cultural biases and working to minimize those will improve the communication process. Words should be pronounced clearly, stop at distinct punctuation points and develop one point at a time.
