Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) If benefits of the negative decision actually exist, pointing them out can be extremely heartening to your recipient. For example, in turning down a candidate for one position you may indicate that the rejection makes her eligible to apply for a better position later on in the year.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) In the indirect approach, a buffer is followed by a reasons section that builds a case for the third section, the delivery of the negative news itself.
