Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Brief stories can be more memorable and effective than straightforward facts or unsupported statements. Make sure to stay on topic and answer the interviewer's questions as comprehensively as you can. Expand on simple yes and no statements to provide more information.
