Answer to Question 1

Answer: Your communication style involves the choices you make to express yourself: the words you select, the manner in which you use those words in sentences, and the way you use individual sentences to build paragraphs. Your style creates a certain tone, or overall impression, when you write. The right tone depends on the nature of your message and your relationship with the reader.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: A conversational tone is now the preferred tone for most business correspondence. Just be sure that conversational doesn't slip into being overly informal or folksy.
