Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Writers should use underlining or bold and side headings to show natural breaks in a
message. This is one of the special formatting and mechanical techniques that can simplify
the overall organization of a memo or letter to encourage further reading.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

message you are sending. This type of message calls for the persuasive approach, in which
you begin by getting the reader's attention in the opening sentence.
