Correct answers: 1 and 4.
- Appropriate: when a loved one becomes seriously ill, and when a loved one dies — offer a brief, sincere message of sympathy and support.
- Not appropriate: routine announcements, and a sports team losing — those don’t normally call for condolences in a professional relationship.
Tip: tailor the tone to how close you are, send privately (email or a note), and keep it short and sincere (e.g., “I’m so sorry to hear this. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do.”).
