Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Because you do not have the guidance of a job posting or position description when composing an unsolicited application letter, it can be more challenging to write than a solicited application letter. Do your research and try to anticipate the company's needs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Do as much research on your prospective employer as possible. Show that you can take initiative in your job search and that you have a background in the field in which you desire to find employments. Your knowledge will do much more to recommend you than any unsupported statements you may make about yourself.
