Answer to Question 1

unsolicited
An unsolicited report is, quite simply, one that you make on your own initiative rather than one
you are asked to prepare or a periodic report that you are expected to prepare at regular
intervals.

Answer to Question 2

D
Providing the summary of the story and the newsworthy information in the closing paragraphs
is not an effective practice when preparing a news release. The opening paragraph of a news
release should summarize the entire story and present the most newsworthy information first.
In this opening section, the writer should give the who, what, where, when, why, and
how of the news story in such a form that this paragraph can stand by itself.
