Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Particularly for important messages, taking a few moments to revise and proofread might save you hours of headaches and damage control. Also, favor simplicity when it comes to producing your email messages. A clean, easily readable font, in black on a white background, is sufficient for nearly all email messages.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: When you approach email writing on the job, recognize that business email is a more formal medium than you are probably accustomed to with email for personal communication. The expectations of writing quality for business email are higher than for personal email, and the consequences of bad writing or poor judgment can be much more serious.
