Question 2

How does the organizational plan for refusing a big favor differ from the organizational plan for refusing a routine favor?

[mcabuhat]

Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A writer asking for a big favor has probably written a thoughtful, reasoned message trying to persuade the reader to do as he or she asks. Therefore, your response should be written in an indirect pattern of organization. A routine request for a favor, however, should receive a routine response--written in the direct pattern of organization.
