Answer to Question 1

C
Communication that is organized is precise (says exactly what is intended) and concise (doesn't waste words).

Answer to Question 2

A
The hallmark of science is empiricism, which involves conducting tests of hypotheses based on observation.Scienti sts are no less creative than other scholars, and they use methods that have been agreed upon by scientists in general when they test their hypotheses. The author does not compare the accuracy of conclusions reached by scientists and other scholars.
