Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Use the body to expand on the opening message so that readers get all the information they need. As you provide the details, maintain the supportive tone established in the opening. This tone is easy to continue when your message is entirely positive.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) A better way to format negative news is to be as positive as possible and emphasize how the audience can benefit from the change. However, if the negative news is likely to be a shock or particularly unpleasant for the reader, you'll want to use the indirect approach.
