Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Choose strong, precise words. Choose words that express your thoughts clearly, specifically, and strongly. If you find yourself using many adjectives and adverbs, chances are you're trying to compensate for weak nouns and verbs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) An abstract word expresses a concept, quality, or characteristic. Abstractions are usually broad, encompassing a category of ideas, and are often intellectual, academic, or philosophical. Love, honor, progress, tradition, and beauty are abstractions, as are such important business concepts as productivity, quality, and motivation.
