Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Adult tantrums are the grown-up version of childhood tantrums that are a defense mechanism to cope with feelings of fear, helplessness, and frustration. The exploder should be given time to finish the tantrum and regain self-control.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Communications should be well organized and expressed in simple words, a clear style, and the shortest sentences possible.
