Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

An elevator speech is a brief, carefully constructed statement that outlines the merits of a business opportunity. Why is it called an elevator speech? If an entrepreneur stepped into an elevator on the 25th floor of a building and found that by a stroke of luck a potential investor was in the same elevator, the entrepreneur would have the time it takes to get from the 25th floor to the ground floor to try to get the investor interested in his or her business opportunity. In the same fashion, entrepreneurs typically only have a few short minutes to interest any investor in a business opportunity, whether it is in an elevator or any other setting.
