Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Occasionally, everyone has to ask someone else for a special favoraction for which there is little reward, time, or inclination. For example, suppose a professional association wants to host its annual fund-raiser dinner at an exclusive country club. The program chair of the association must write to the club's general manager requesting permission to use the facility. Will a deductive message be successful? When a deductive approach is used in a persuasive situation, chances of getting cooperation are minimal. For example, what might be a probable reaction to the following beginning sentence? Please send me, without charge, your 450 interactive video training game on workplace safety. If the first sentence gets a negative reaction, a decision to refuse might be made instantly. Having thought No, the reader might not read the rest of the message or might hold stubbornly to that decision in spite of a well-written persuasive argument that follows the opening sentence. As this message shows, if the preceding paragraphs adequately emphasize a reader's reward for complying, the final paragraph need not shout loudly for action.
