Question 1

Enlarging others means that those you interact with feel better after talking with you.

Accepted Answer

Enlarging others is a concept from the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. It means making others feel important, valued, and better about themselves after interacting with you.

Question 2

Acknowledging the presence of others is a way to enlarge them.

Accepted Answer

Acknowledging someone's presence acknowledges their value and importance, contributing to their sense of significance and increasing their presence in the situation.

Question 3

The reframing technique requires that you maintain the speaker's perspective.

Accepted Answer

Reframing involves changing the perspective on a situation to see it in a new, often more positive or solution-focused light, which does not necessarily require maintaining the original perspective of the speaker.

Question 4

You can even compliment others on what they don't do or say.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible to compliment others on what they don't do or say. For example, "I really appreciate that you never say anything negative about others."

Question 5

You don't need to be specific when complimenting others.

Accepted Answer

Specific compliments are more meaningful and impactful because they show that you have noticed something particular about the person, making the compliment feel more genuine and personalized.

Question 6

Which one of the following is not a suggestion for enlarging others?&#10;A) Be expressive.&#10;B) Be sincere.&#10;C) Be ambiguous.&#10;D) Be persistent.

Accepted Answer

Being ambiguous does not help in enlarging others as it results in confusion and lack of clarity. Being expressive, sincere, and persistent can all help in communicating effectively and gaining a better understanding of others.

Question 7

Which one of the following is not one of the ways to compliment others?&#10;A) Compliment minimally.&#10;B) Compliment effort.&#10;C) Compliment character.&#10;D) Compliment achievement.

Accepted Answer

Complimenting minimally means giving a very short and brief compliment, which may not have a significant impact on the person. It is not a recommended way to compliment others. B, C, and D are all effective ways to compliment others as they focus on different aspects such as effort, character, and achievement, respectively.

Question 8

&#34;Another way of looking at your situation is that it's an opportunity to grow&#34; is an example of&#10;A) synthesizing.&#10;B) collaborating.&#10;C) listening.&#10;D) reframing.

Accepted Answer

"Another way of looking at your situation is that it's an opportunity to grow" is an example of reframing, which involves looking at a situation in a different way in order to shift perspective and find new solutions.

Question 9

Which of the following is not a way to enlarge others?&#10;A) Supporting others&#10;B) Perception checking&#10;C) Saying the best to others&#10;D) Reframing

Accepted Answer

Perception checking is a communication strategy that involves seeking clarification about a situation or statement to understand it better, rather than directly contributing to someone's growth or enlargement. The other options (supporting others, saying the best to others, and reframing) are direct methods to help enlarge or empower others.

Which one of the following is not a suggestion for remembering names?&#10;A) Spelling the name&#10;B) Repeating the name&#10;C) Calling others names&#10;D) Associating the name
