Answer to Question 1

Answer: If audience members do not share your general background, your message will likely need to include an element of education. You should try to include only enough information to accomplish the specific purpose of your message. If the members of your audience have various levels of understanding, gear your coverage to your primary audience (the key decision makers).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Choice of message medium can be critical for the sender. When your message requires careful thought on the part of your audience, a written (paper or digital) message probably works best. When the impact of imagery is important, you should consider sending graph, chart, or other kind of visual presentation. When speed and an immediate response are required, an oral delivery might work out best.
