Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Informative headings provide much more information than descriptive headings. Informative headings, when well written, can function like an outline of the entire document.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Whereas descriptive headings do little more than identify a topic, informative headings guide readers to think in certain ways about the topic of your message. Well-written informative headings are self-contained, which means a reader can read just the headings and subheadings and understand them without reading the rest of the document.
