What is a responsibility of a timekeeper in a meeting?

• A. Keeps track of time, and notifies the group when allocated times are up.
• B. Records minutes after the meeting and distributes them to members.
• C. Sets the agenda for the meeting.
• D. Assigns action items to participants.

Answer: (A)

Managing the meeting's timing is the responsibility being tested. The timekeeper monitors how long each agenda item is taking and notifies the group when the allocated time for a topic is up (or approaching the limit). This helps keep the meeting on schedule, ensures every item receives attention, and supports timely decisions. Minutes are typically recorded by a secretary after the meeting and then distributed to members, setting the agenda is usually the role of the chair or organizer, and assigning action items is often handled by the chair or facilitator with follow-up tasks noted.
