Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) With small mobile device screens, a complicated organization requires readers to zoom in and out and pan around to see all these elements at readable text sizes. This makes reading slower and raises the odds that readers will get disoriented and lose the thread of the message because they can't see the big picture. To simplify reading, organize with a linear flow from the top to the bottom of the message or article.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Prioritize the information based on what you know about their needs and put that information first. Use the inverted pyramid style favored by journalists, in which you reveal the most important information briefly at first and then provide successive layers of detail that readers can consume if they want.
