Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) If your communication is purely informative, no persuasion is necessary. This choice is not just informative, so persuasion will likely be required.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The desired outcome of a message is what you actually want your audience to do as a result of the communication. If there is a problem with the current procedure of dismissal, your desired outcome is that parents will follow the new procedure which you have implemented to address the issue. The other choices are less relevant or less specific than this outcome.
