Answer to Question 1

B
You can give me your response by Friday evening is the most effective sentence in the
context of the you-attitude conveyed through word usage. Sentences that use the you-attitude
emphasize the reader instead of the writer. By focusing on the reader, you are more likely to
gain his or her acceptance or cooperation. Also, using a negative word with you can result in
a negative sentence.

Answer to Question 2

C
The you-attitude is preferred by writers in order to write effective sentences. Sentences that
use the you-attitude emphasize the reader instead of the writer.
