Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. Though a written report might expose your work to the executive committee, a presentation is preferred because busy executives tend to be more impressed by what they see in a meeting than by what they read in their offices.
B) Correct. Though both a report and a presentation expose the executive committee to your work, a presentation is preferred because busy executives tend to be more impressed by what they see in a meeting than by what they read in their offices.
