Answer to Question 1

Concise writing, short paragraphs, and a conversational style are expected by an online audience that may only scan a webpage looking quickly for information they need. In general, web pages contain less writing and more interactivity than other ways to connect with customers. Bulleted text, short sentences, and links to useful information help to keep the reader engaged rather than overwhelmed. A good web page is highly skimmable, with appealing graphics, clear headings, and links to encourage people to read more or visit other parts of the website.

Answer to Question 2

a. Content errors. Read the document to ensure that it makes sense. You may find places where data were accidentally deleted during the revision stage.
b. Typographical errors. Slowly read the document to find typographical errors, such as an error that happened to result in a word, which a spellchecker would not detect. Check proper names and all statistical data.
c. Format errors. Visually inspect the document to ensure that its appearance is professional and that all required parts are in their respective locations.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
