Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Suggest the action you want readers to take and phrase it in a way that emphasizes the benefits to them. Make the action as easy as possible to take. Be sure to provide all the information the audience needs to take the action, including deadlines and contact details.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: A skeptical audience is likely to be particularly mistrustful of attempts to talk over their heads by citing fancy-sounding scientific and technological terms. A much better approach is to keep things simple and build a sense of trust and common understanding with the audience.
