1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the all-hands around a handful of concrete updates, rather than a loose, hour-long ramble nobody can summarise afterward.'
We 'structure a meeting' — the standard, simple collocation for organising an all-hands around clear content. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Running long on prepared slides can ___ almost no real time left for the questions people actually came to ask.'
We say overrunning slides will 'leave' little time for questions — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting squeeze. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ live questions from the floor as well as ones submitted anonymously beforehand, since some people simply won't raise a hand in front of the whole company.'
We 'field a question' — the standard, simple collocation for taking and answering questions during a meeting. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ each agenda item strictly, so one enthusiastic tangent doesn't quietly eat the slot meant for three other updates.'
We 'timebox an item' — the standard, simple collocation for limiting how long each topic gets during a meeting. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ any question we couldn't fully answer live, sending a written response afterward rather than letting it just drop.'
We 'follow up' on a question — the standard, simple collocation for closing out something left unresolved during a meeting. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
