Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) To keep from missing errors that are in plain sight, try perception tricks such as reading pages backward, placing your finger under each word and reading it silently, covering everything but the line you're currently reading, or reading the document aloud.

Answer to Question 2
