Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Poor organization makes a message hard to understand. If your audience is familiar with the content and context of your message, you might be able to get away with poor organization. However, in almost every other situation, a poorly organized message is an ineffective message.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Messages organized with the direct approach begin with the main idea and then provide supporting evidence. The direct approach works best with audiences who are receptive or neutral to what you have to say. Messages organized with the indirect approach build a case with supporting evidence before presenting the main idea. The indirect approach works best with audiences who are resistant to or skeptical of what you have to say.
