Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Who else may be affected by this problem or decision? Here, additional stakeholders include the employees who will be affected by the integration of an LMS (or other changes to the current training practices).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) If you perform a quick Google search or rely on a general and nonvalidated source like Wikipedia, even for background information, your audience may not respect your findings. A professional audience is more likely to value your information if you use professional and highly credible sources.
