Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) An effective buffer serves as a transition to the next part of your message, in which you build up the explanations and information that will culminate in your negative news.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) By giving your reasons effectively, you help maintain focus on the issues at hand and defuse the emotions that always accompany significantly bad news. An effective way to do this is to start with positive or neutral points and move through progressively negative points. Provide enough detail for the audience to understand your reasons but be concise.
