Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Because the proposal is persuasive, its close should emphasize the course of action that it recommends. The close is the last opportunity to convince readers of the steps they should take after reading the proposal.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) An appendix contains materials related to the report but not included in the text because they are too long or perhaps not relevant to everyone in the audience. This standard section of a formal report occurs after the close.
