Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Format instructions so readers can easily follow the steps. Begin with an overview, divide instructions into numbered or bulleted lists, and begin each step with an action verb (or a conditional phrase, if the step is necessary only under certain conditions). Use parallel phrasing to ensure the same grammatical form for each item. Position any needed explanation after the action rather than before it.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Routine business messages may include procedural information or brief instructions about how to do things. Good instructions allow the audience to understand the task and complete it accurately.
