Correct Answer
A. A map with milestonesExplanation
An agenda is most like a map with milestones because both provide a structured outline or plan for a series of events or tasks. Just as a map shows the route and key points of a journey, an agenda outlines the sequence of events or topics to be covered in a meeting or event. Both help to guide and organize the progression of activities, ensuring that important points are addressed and goals are achieved.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Communicates the results of a decisionExplanation
An agenda is a document that outlines the topics to be discussed and the order in which they will be addressed during a meeting. It helps to keep the meeting focused and ensures that all necessary information is covered. While an agenda may mention decisions that need to be made during the meeting, it is not its purpose to communicate the results of those decisions. The agenda's main focus is on organizing and structuring the meeting, rather than disseminating the outcomes of decisions made during the meeting.Rate this question:

-
Meeting may be disorganised and time-wasting
-

May be personal attacks and hostility
-
The meeting achieves its aims in a short period of time
Correct Answer(s)
A. Meeting may be disorganised and time-wasting
A. Attendees talk too long on topics
A. May be personal attacks and hostilityExplanation
Without an agenda, a meeting is likely to be disorganised and time-wasting because there is no clear structure or plan for discussion. Attendees may talk too long on topics because there are no time limits or priorities set. Additionally, without an agenda, there may be personal attacks and hostility as there is no guidance on respectful communication. However, it is unlikely that the meeting will achieve its aims in a short period of time without an agenda as there is no direction or focus for the discussion.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Customer serviceExplanation
An agenda for a meeting typically focuses on the topics, tasks, and goals that need to be addressed and accomplished during the meeting. Customer service, on the other hand, is a term associated with providing assistance and support to customers. While it is important for organizations, it is not directly related to the agenda of a meeting. The other terms listed - action items, chairperson, attendee, and minutes - are all commonly associated with a meeting agenda as they refer to the tasks, roles, and documentation involved in a meeting.Rate this question:
