Answer to Question 1

D
Typing or signing the writer's full name at the end of the memo is unnecessary when writing a
memo. A writer should sign each memo with a blue or black pen by writing his or her initials
after the name on the FROM line.

Answer to Question 2

B
Creating a long subject line that gives all the details will make a memo ineffective. Writers
should compose a brief but appropriate subject line for memos. Subject lines should identify
the topic of the memo, not give all the details.
