Using this role play, I need help answering the following questions:

Person A:

You have driven to the downtown section of your city for a very important meeting with a new client, who represents at least $50,000 in new business for your company. The lot in which you usually park is closed for repairs, but you do not know of another parking lot nearby. You are running late and are very concerned about the time. While driving down the street on which your clients office is located, you see an open parking space. You stop alongside the car parked in front of the open space in order to parallel park. As you start to back into the open space, another person drives up from behind and begins to pull into the space. The cars block each other and neither can park. You shut off your engine, get out of your car, and go back to talk with the person in the other car.

Person B:

You are on your way to a job interview. Finding parking downtown is a difficult process; most of the parking lots are already full. While driving down a street near where you will be interviewed, you notice an open parking space. You begin to pull into the space, but at the same time, another person tries to back into the same space. The cars block each other and neither can park. You shut off your engine, get out of your car, and go to talk with the person in the other car.
