Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Make sure you don't contribute to information overload by sending messages that won't change anything. Complaining about things you have no influence over is a good example of a message that probably shouldn't be sent.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Within the scope of that general purpose, each message also has a specific purpose, which identifies what you hope to accomplish with your message. The more precisely you can define your specific purpose, the better you'll be able to fine-tune your message to achieve your desired outcome. Requesting a specific data and time for the meeting, and giving the reasons for the meeting allows the receiver to plan a better response to the message.
