Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Bias-free language avoids words and phrases that unfairly and even unethically categorize or stigmatize people in ways related to gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability, or other personal characteristics. Using words such as young and energetic are indicative of age.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) If you're trying to persuade audience members to perform a particular action, point out how doing so will benefit them. Taking the you attitude would not involve threats based on lack of action. All business messages should use basic good manners such as please and thank you.
