JLPT N2 - MOCK2 LISTENING

Question

💡 Detailed Explanation

The speaker is praising Mr. Suzuki's presentation. In Japanese business culture, the standard response to praise is to be humble and express gratitude. '恐れ入ります。そう言っていただけると励みになります。' (Thank you. Hearing you say that is very encouraging.) is a perfect example of this. 'はい、おかげさまで、うまくいきました。' is also polite but less common for direct praise of a specific skill. 'ええ、自分でもそう思います。' (Yes, I think so too.) sounds arrogant and is inappropriate.
