Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) If the routine message is mixed and must convey mildly disappointing information, put the negative portion of your message into as favorable a context as possible. Emphasize how the audience can benefit from the change. However, if the negative news is likely to be a shock or particularly unpleasant for the reader, you'll want to use the indirect approach.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Your message is more likely to succeed if it leaves your readers with the feeling that you have their best interests in mind. You can accomplish this by highlighting a benefit to the audience or by expressing appreciation or goodwill.
