2
Explanation: 1. To avoid misunderstanding of supplies needed, a written request is the most appropriate
choice. It avoids misunderstanding since the needs can be checked off a list. The other choices

Rationale 4: Connection power is based on an individual's formal and informal links to influential or prestigious persons.
