Answer 1

When looking at this problem, our priority is first to identify event pairs that do not exceed 15 attendees when combined. Then, we look for those pairs that have the most overlapping subjects or topics.According to the table, the only possible combinations that do not exceed the attendee limitation are: AC, BC, AE, BE, and CE.Comparing the content of these combinations, Event AC ('Building virtual teams' and 'Communication strategies for virtual work') and event BC ('Working in a remote setting' and 'Communication strategies for virtual work') have more thematic relevance to each other, comparing to AE, BE, and CE. The common topic here is working in virtual teams.As defined by the problem, the two events should not exceed 15 attendees and therefore (considering the number of attendees), BC with 14 attendees cannot be a possible solution. Hence, the pair with the most overlap and the highest number of attendees within the limit is AC.
