Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) By writing clearly and sensitively, you can take some of the sting out of bad news and help your reader accept the decision and move on.

Answer: C
Explanation: C) A negative message using the direct approach opens with the bad news, proceeds to the reasons for the situation or decision, offers any additional information that may help the audience, and ends with a positive statement aimed at maintaining a good relationship with the audience.
