Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The case for seriously planning a bad-news message begins with the desire to retain goodwill. A customer or employee who has a positive attitude toward the company is a valuable asset. Thinking through the potential reaction of your audience helps you to select those aspects of the situation that are of most concern. Neutralizing the negative aspects allows reason and rationality to prevail.
