Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: To make a message easier to read on a small mobile screen, organize it with a linear flow from the top to the bottom of the message or article.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Mobile users often lack the patience or opportunity to read lengthy messages or documents, so keep it short. In some cases, this could require you to write two documents, a shorter executive summary for mobile use and a longer supporting document that readers can access with their PCs if they want more details.
