Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Evaluative communication makes a judgment or places a label on other individuals or their behavior. Descriptive communication, on the other hand, is comprised of three steps: (1) Objectively describe your observation of the event or the behavior, (2) Describe your (or others') reaction to the behavior or its consequences, (3) Suggest a more acceptable alternative.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: In this case, the boss sees the problem as a performance issue. He is saying that he can help you do something better. Thus, he perceives that you need help improving your work skills, which is an ability, not an attitude, problem.
