Julio Marquez · Answer 1

The choices were;

A) He should adopt Brendan's suggestions as they are the only options.

B) He should remind Brendan that time is limited and the others need to be heard as well.

C) He should ask Brendan to leave the meeting.

D) He should ignore Brendan's suggestions and invite responses from other participants.

E) He should call off the meeting and invite written suggestions

I think the best answer would be letter B

Given there are also some people who wanted to give their suggestions. It would be better if they also have the chance to speak. Just like Patrick allowed Brenda to speak. However, dominating the discussion was not a good idea to get to an agreement. All of them must be heard first before they can arrive at the best solution.
