Which term refers to a brief meeting to address and resolve a problem so action can be taken right away?

• A. Adjourning
• B. Agenda
• C. Action meeting
• D. Alternative

Answer: (B)

An agenda is a plan for a meeting that lists the topics to discuss and the order in which they will be addressed. In a brief problem‑solving session, an agenda keeps discussions focused, clearly defines the problem, and speeds up decisions by outlining what needs to be decided and who will take action. This structure makes it possible to address the issue and move straight to concrete steps without unnecessary detours. In hospitality contexts, a quick huddle with a tight agenda helps ensure service issues are resolved promptly and responsibilities are assigned with clear deadlines. Adjourning refers to ending a meeting or project phase, not guiding a short, action‑oriented discussion; an action meeting isn’t a standard term, and alternative simply means another option.
