Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The two objectives are to convey the bad news and to maintain the reader's goodwill. The writer can achieve these objectives by communicating the message politely, clearly, and firmly. The writer must show the reader that the request was carefully considered and is being denied based on principles of fairness and sound business practice.
