Answer to Question 1

FALSE
The advantage of a tabulated presentation is that the reader can easily see the total situation
at a glance without wading through a great many words. The decision to tabulate should be
influenced by the amount and the kind of information to be included as well as by the uses to
which the information is likely to be put.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
The tone of a letter is warm and friendly. An informal report, on the other hand, is a
straightforward, factual presentationand it should be worded as such.
