Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) When evaluating the work of others, your first responsibility is to determine what they are trying to communicate to their audience. Once you have a clear idea of the author's purpose and point of view, you can move on to suggesting or making critical changes.
