Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) A message of inquiry (which can be handled by email if the interviewer has given you his or her email address) is particularly appropriate if you've received a job offer from a second firm and don't want to accept it before you have an answer from the first.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Send a follow-up message within two days of the interview, even if you feel you have little chance of getting the job. These messages are often referred to as thank-you notes, but they give you an important opportunity to go beyond merely expressing your appreciation.
