Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Your media choice is a nonverbal signal that affects the style and tone of your message. For example, a printed memo or letter is likely to be perceived as a more formal gesture than an IM or email message.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) While it's still a useful format, printed documents have been replaced by digital alternatives in many instances. However, there are several situations in which you should consider a printed message over electronic alternatives, including when you want to make a formal impression, when you are legally required to provide information in printed form, when you want to stand out from the flood of electronic messages and when you need a permanent, unchangeable, or secure record.
