Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Remember that business meals are a forum for business. Don't discuss politics, religion, or any other topic that's likely to stir up emotions. Don't complain about work, don't ask deeply personal questions, avoid profanity, and be careful with humora joke that entertains some people could easily offend others.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Generally speaking, it would be best to avoid answering a mobile phone in situations such as this, since doing so can cause disruption and signal disrespect toward your colleagues. Such disruptions have become such a problem that some senior executives have banned the use of mobile phones during meetings.
