Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Mobile users often lack the patience or opportunity to read lengthy messages or documents, so keep it short. In some cases, this could require you to write two documents, a shorter executive summary for mobile use and a longer supporting document that readers can access with their PCs if they want more details.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Shorter paragraphs are less intimidating and let readers take frequent micro rests as they move through a document. Because far less text is displayed at once on a mobile screen, keep paragraphs as short as possible so readers don't have to swipe through screen after screen before getting to paragraph breaks.
