Answer to Question 1

Answer: An ideal approach to proofing a report or proposal is to have it reviewed by two people: one who is an expert on the topic and one who is not. The first person can check for technical accuracy, and the second can help ensure that the document will be understood by a wide range of readers.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Proofreading the text portions of your report is essentially the same as proofreading any other business messageyou check for typos, spelling errors, and mistakes in punctuation. However, reports often have elements that may not be included in other messages, so don't forget to proof your visuals thoroughly and make sure they are positioned correctly.
