Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) At a minimum, an effective introduction accomplishes these four tasks: It introduces the subject matter and indicates why it is important. It previews the main idea (if you're using the direct approach). It establishes the tone and the writer's relationship with the audience. It helps the reader understand the context of the report by tying it to a problem or an assignment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The introduction section of a proposal includes the background or statement of the problem, solution, scope, and report organization. A report contains those elements plus authorization, purpose, definitions if needed, and limitations.
