Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) A complex sentence contains one main thought, the telephone system is a serious concern, and one supporting thought, Although our servers are stable. Note that the supporting thought is a dependent clause; it cannot stand on its own.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: In addition to using words correctly, successful writers and speakers take care to use the most effective words and phrases. Selecting and using words effectively is often more challenging than using words correctly because doing so is a matter of judgment and experience. The denotative meaning is the literal, or dictionary, meaning. The connotative meaning includes all the associations and feelings evoked by the word. When you compose your business messages, think carefully to find the most powerful words for each situation. Choose words that express your thoughts clearly, specifically, and dynamically, most often denotative words.
