Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By announcing a time limit and question limit per person, it helps to maintain control and prevent individuals from dominating the question period. Insisting that all questions be taken on notice or appointing someone to ask pre-prepared questions may come across as inflexible and may not allow for spontaneous questions. Ignoring individuals who are dominating may create conflict and tension during the question period.
