Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) You should begin routine requests by placing your initial request up front, where it stands out and gets the most attention. Of course, getting right to the point should not be interpreted as license to be abrupt or tactless. You should pay attention to tone. Instead of demanding action, soften your request with words such as please and I would appreciate.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Pay attention to tone. Instead of demanding action (Send me the latest version of the budget spreadsheet), show respect by using words such as please and I would appreciate.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
